Dresden Dream vs Favorite Jeans

Dresden DreamPPGvsFavorite JeansSherwin-WilliamsΔE 2.7Subtle difference

Where Dresden Dream belongs to PPG's range, Favorite Jeans is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the blue family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Dresden Dream (LRV 38) reflects noticeably more light than Favorite Jeans (LRV 35), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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