Tree Branch vs Van Dyke Brown paint color comparison

Tree Branch vs Van Dyke Brown

Tree Branch and Van Dyke Brown 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 12-point LRV gap — 19 for Tree Branch vs 7 for Van Dyke Brown — means Tree Branch 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 19.6 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.
