Radicchio vs Grenadine
Radicchio is a Farrow & Ball color while Grenadine comes from PPG. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. At LRV 15 vs 12, Grenadine will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 8.4, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Radicchio vs Grenadine in Real Spaces
6 real rooms side by side. Radicchio and Grenadine are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Grenadine has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The brightness difference is modest but present — Grenadine gives the walls a little more lift.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The brightness difference is modest but present — Grenadine gives the walls a little more lift.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Grenadine reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
House
At full exterior scale, the difference between these two colors becomes much easier to judge than from a small chip. The brightness difference is modest but present — Grenadine gives the walls a little more lift.
Front Door
Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. Grenadine has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Radicchio vs Grenadine Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Radicchio on one side and Grenadine on the other.
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.
