Redwing vs Terrakotta

RedwingSherwin-WilliamsvsTerrakottaTikkurilaΔE 36.1Very different colors

Where Redwing belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, Terrakotta is a Tikkurila color. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Terrakotta (LRV 14) reflects noticeably more light than Redwing (LRV 7), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 36.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
