Dahlia vs Full Moon

DahliaSherwin-WilliamsvsFull MoonSherwin-WilliamsΔE 53.3 — Very different colors

Dahlia and Full Moon come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Dahlia reads as blue, while Full Moon reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 46-point LRV gap — 78 for Full Moon vs 32 for Dahlia — means Full Moon will open up a space more effectively. Where Dahlia leans cool, Full Moon reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 53.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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. 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.
