How they read
In their own wordsBlackberry SW 7577 is a very dark plum in Sherwin-Williams' red family, rated for interior and exterior use. Sherwin-Williams gives an LRV of 4.81.
Inventive Orange is a mid-light, clear apricot — a genuine orange rather than a terracotta, with a warm yellow-red base. At LRV 42 it is bright enough to lift a room and saturated enough to read as a deliberate choice.
