Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchBenjamin Moore 806 translated into the Sherwin-Williams line
The closest Sherwin-Williams paint to Benjamin Moore Breath of Fresh Air (806) is Moonmist SW 9144, a delta-E of 1.83 away — close enough to swap without anyone noticing, though a large sample in daylight will show the difference.
Moonmist is 1.4 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as cool blue-gray against blue undertone, at chroma 6.6 and 8.0.
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.
