Faded Denim vs Sweet Dreams

Faded DenimBenjamin MoorevsSweet DreamsPPGΔE 4.1Noticeable difference

Faded Denim (Benjamin Moore) and Sweet Dreams (PPG) come from different manufacturers. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 55 for Sweet Dreams vs 52 for Faded Denim — means Sweet Dreams will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 4.1 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
