Sand DuneSherwin-WilliamsvsSoft FawnSherwin-WilliamsΔE 13.8 — Distinct difference

Sand Dune and Soft Fawn come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Sand Dune belongs to the beige-greige family and Soft Fawn to the beige family. The 13-point LRV gap — 46 for Sand Dune vs 33 for Soft Fawn — 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 13.8 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.
