Dashing vs Frostwork
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Dashing belongs to the green-white family and Frostwork to the green-grey family. Dashing (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Frostwork (LRV 62), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 11.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Dashing vs Frostwork in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Dashing and Frostwork in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Dashing will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Frostwork would.

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.
