Dazzle vs Yarrow

DazzleSherwin-WilliamsvsYarrowSherwin-WilliamsΔE 84.7 — Very different colors

Dazzle and Yarrow come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Dazzle reads as blue, while Yarrow reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 26-point LRV gap — 48 for Yarrow vs 22 for Dazzle — means Yarrow will open up a space more effectively. Where Dazzle leans cool, Yarrow reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 84.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Yarrow returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
