Cordial vs Dry Dock
Cordial and Dry Dock come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Cordial reads as pink, while Dry Dock reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 17-point LRV gap — 28 for Dry Dock vs 11 for Cordial — means Dry Dock will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 29.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Cordial vs Dry Dock Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Cordial on one side and Dry Dock on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
