Reddish vs Cooing Doves
Reddish is a Sherwin-Williams color while Cooing Doves comes from Valspar. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. At LRV 33 vs 21, Cooing Doves will read as the brighter of the two — a 12-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 17.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
