Hazel vs Plum Dandy

Hazel and Plum Dandy come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Hazel belongs to the green family and Plum Dandy to the grey family. The 33-point LRV gap — 50 for Hazel vs 17 for Plum Dandy — means Hazel will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 39.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
