Red Barn vs Toile Red
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. At LRV 12 vs 9, Toile Red will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 6.2, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
