Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchDunn-Edwards DE6016 translated into the Valspar line
The closest Valspar paint to Dunn-Edwards Desert Mauve (DE6016) is Barely Pink 1006-8C, a delta-E of 2.76 away — the nearest Valspar makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.
Barely Pink is 0.9 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as red undertone against pink undertone, at chroma 7.7 and 8.3.
Codes are not transferable between manufacturers and no brand publishes a conversion table, so every figure here is measured from the published hex values rather than taken from a chart.
