Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchBehr HDC-AC-26 translated into the Valspar line
The closest Valspar paint to Behr Sarsaparilla (HDC-AC-26) is Safari Brown 6009-1, a delta-E of 2.6 away — the nearest Valspar makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.
Safari Brown is 0.9 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as true neutral against red cast, at chroma 2.4 and 4.1.
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.
