Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchBehr N520-1 translated into the Farrow & Ball line
The closest Farrow & Ball paint to Behr White Metal (N520-1) is Dimpse 277, a delta-E of 1.07 away — close enough to swap without anyone noticing, though a large sample in daylight will show the difference.
Dimpse is 363.3 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as true neutral against true neutral, at chroma 1.0 and 1.0.
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.
