Dormer Brown vs Sand Dune

Dormer Brown and Sand Dune come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 14-point LRV gap — 46 for Sand Dune vs 32 for Dormer Brown — means Sand Dune 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 12.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
