Mulberry Silk vs Reddened Earth
Both are Sherwin-Williams colors. Mulberry Silk reads as beige-pink, while Reddened Earth reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 20 and 19, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 7.6, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

Mulberry Silk vs Reddened Earth in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Mulberry Silk and Reddened Earth 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. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

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.
