Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchDunn-Edwards DE6023 translated into the PPG line
The closest PPG paint to Dunn-Edwards Short and Sweet (DE6023) is Pink Pail 1050-2, a delta-E of 2.29 away — the nearest PPG makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.
Pink Pail is 1.3 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as pink undertone against pink undertone, at chroma 10.8 and 10.4.
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.
