Convert Sherwin-Williams (SW) to Dunn-Edwards

Quick Description

If you want to match colors from the North American market, you can convert Sherwin-Williams (SW) to Dunn-Edwards. The SW color is analyzed based on its LAB or RGB values and matched with the visually closest tone from the Dunn-Edwards Perfect Palette. This allows you to quickly find the right Dunn-Edwards color for architectural, interior, or facade projects.

The conversion from SW to Dunn-Edwards is especially useful for designers, contractors, and planners who develop color concepts for North America or work on projects involving different regional paint brands. qConv automatically determines the closest Dunn-Edwards color and displays the visual match, color deviation, and alternative tones.

Since both brands use their own formulations and pigments, the conversion from Sherwin-Williams to Dunn-Edwards is not a 1:1 match, but it provides a highly accurate visual approximation — ideal for reproductions, renovations, and comparative color analysis.

How does the conversion work?

In the conversion from Sherwin-Williams to Dunn-Edwards, the LAB or RGB values of the SW color are mapped into the Dunn-Edwards color space. qConv uses the Delta-E calculation (CIEDE2000) to determine the visually closest match.

For example, SW 7008 Alabaster roughly corresponds to DEW380 White Picket Fence, while SW 6258 Tricorn Black matches approximately DEA002 Black. qConv automatically displays this SW to Dunn-Edwards conversion, including color comparisons, LAB values, and HEX representation.

This color conversion from Sherwin-Williams to Dunn-Edwards helps maintain consistency across different color systems — whether you’re designing interiors, planning facades, or coordinating color references between suppliers.

Example & Application

Example: The popular color SW 7029 Agreeable Gray corresponds approximately to DE6211 Foggy Day in the SW to Dunn-Edwards conversion. qConv visually displays this match along with the Delta-E value and alternative shades that appear slightly cooler or warmer.

The conversion from Sherwin-Williams to Dunn-Edwards is ideal for interior designers who work across brands or for projects where regional paint availability matters. qConv ensures precise color adaptation, simplifying international design coordination.

Our tip: Use the SW→Dunn-Edwards conversion when you need to align colors across supply chains or manufacturers. qConv provides not only exact matches but also harmonious alternatives for the best visual balance in your space.

* Note:

qConv.com searches for the next matching color from the selected color palette. In most cases, there will be minimal or apparent color differences because there is not an exact match for every color.
