Which should you use?

Pure Red is a very close stand-in for Evil Sunz Scarlet; the small difference all but disappears under a wash and highlights.

ΔE is measured with CIEDE2000 from approximate, community-referenced swatch colours — close, never exact. Formulation, finish and coverage differ between brands, so always confirm against a physical swatch before committing a whole army to a substitute.
