Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchSherwin-Williams SW 6821 translated into the Dunn-Edwards line
The closest Dunn-Edwards paint to Sherwin-Williams Potentially Purple (SW 6821) is Violet Crush DE5946, a delta-E of 2.84 away — the nearest Dunn-Edwards makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.
Violet Crush is 5.4 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as violet undertone against violet undertone, at chroma 10.2 and 10.8.
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.
