The closest Sherwin-Williams paint to Benjamin Moore October Sky (2162-70) is Paperwhite SW 7105, a delta-E of 1.13 away — close enough to swap without anyone noticing, though a large sample in daylight will show the difference.

Paperwhite is 5.4 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as yellow undertone against yellow undertone, at chroma 9.2 and 8.8.

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.
