Auric vs Dazzle
Auric and Dazzle come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Auric belongs to the beige family and Dazzle to the blue family. The 7-point LRV gap — 30 for Auric vs 22 for Dazzle — means Auric will open up a space more effectively. Where Auric leans warm, Dazzle reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 95.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.
