Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchBenjamin Moore HC-160 translated into the Valspar line
The closest Valspar paint to Benjamin Moore Knoxville Gray (HC-160) is Relaxed Navy 5001-2B, a delta-E of 2.9 away — the nearest Valspar makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.
Relaxed Navy is 2.7 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as teal cast against teal cast, at chroma 6.3 and 5.6.
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.
