Smoky Salmon vs Magnolia
Where Smoky Salmon belongs to Sherwin-Williams's range, Magnolia is a Tikkurila color. Smoky Salmon reads as beige-pink, while Magnolia reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Magnolia (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Smoky Salmon (LRV 52), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
