Scarlet vs Flamingo

ScarletSherwin-WilliamsvsFlamingoTikkurilaΔE 41.0Very different colors

Scarlet (Sherwin-Williams) and Flamingo (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 24-point LRV gap — 34 for Flamingo vs 10 for Scarlet — means Flamingo will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 41.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
