Real Red and Tabriz Teal come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Real Red belongs to the pink-red family and Tabriz Teal to the blue family. The NaN-point LRV gap — NaN for Tabriz Teal vs 13 for Real Red — means Tabriz Teal will open up a space more effectively. Where Real Red leans warm, Tabriz Teal reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 89.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
