Life Lesson in Dunn-Edwards

PPG 1128-3 translated into the Dunn-Edwards line

PPG Life Lesson 1128-3 on a wall, hex #C5CABE
Dunn-Edwards Silhouette DE6276 on a wall, hex #CBCDC4

The closest Dunn-Edwards paint to PPG Life Lesson (1128-3) is Silhouette DE6276, a delta-E of 2.4 away — the nearest Dunn-Edwards makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.

Silhouette is 2.3 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as yellow-green cast against yellow-green cast, at chroma 4.8 and 6.6.

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.
