Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchSherwin-Williams SW 2822 translated into the Dunn-Edwards line
The closest Dunn-Edwards paint to Sherwin-Williams Downing Sand (SW 2822) is Rustic Taupe DE6129, a delta-E of 2.13 away — the nearest Dunn-Edwards makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.
Rustic Taupe is 1.3 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as yellow against yellow undertone, at chroma 14.7 and 13.6.
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.
