Cranberry vs Lush Rose
Both from PPG's palette. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (25 vs 24), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 3.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
