Dunn-Edwards DEA116 translated into the Sherwin-Williams line
The closest Sherwin-Williams paint to Dunn-Edwards Flash of Orange (DEA116) is Gusto Gold SW 6904, a delta-E of 6.09 away — the closest Sherwin-Williams has, and far enough away that you should sample it before committing.
Light reflectance is effectively identical, 50.0 against 49.7. Undertone reads as yellow against yellow, at chroma 76.9 and 82.5.
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.
