Which should you use?

Scarlet is a close but not exact substitute for Evil Sunz Scarlet — usable in the same recipe, with a slight shift you may notice on large flat areas.

Scarlet is the lighter of the two, so if you're layering, treat it as the highlight side and Evil Sunz Scarlet as the base or shade.

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.
