Royal Indigo vs Dewberry

Royal IndigoPPGvsDewberrySherwin-WilliamsΔE 6.0Noticeable difference

Where Royal Indigo belongs to PPG's range, Dewberry is a Sherwin-Williams color. Royal Indigo reads as purple, while Dewberry reads as blue-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (7 vs 5), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 6.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
