Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchBehr MQ3-48 translated into the Sherwin-Williams line
The closest Sherwin-Williams paint to Behr Shy Green (MQ3-48) is Sea Salt SW 6204, a delta-E of 1.76 away — close enough to swap without anyone noticing, though a large sample in daylight will show the difference.
Light reflectance is effectively identical, 63.0 against 63.2. Undertone reads as yellow-green cast against yellow-green cast, at chroma 4.6 and 6.4.
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.
