Decadent Damson vs Deep Forest Brown
Where Decadent Damson belongs to Dulux's range, Deep Forest Brown is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Decadent Damson (LRV 7) reflects noticeably more light than Deep Forest Brown (LRV 4), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Decadent Damson runs warm while Deep Forest Brown is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
