Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchBenjamin Moore 1649 translated into the Sherwin-Williams line
The closest Sherwin-Williams paint to Benjamin Moore Polaris Blue (1649) is Poolhouse SW 7603, a delta-E of 1.15 away — close enough to swap without anyone noticing, though a large sample in daylight will show the difference.
Poolhouse is 0.7 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as blue undertone against blue undertone, at chroma 9.7 and 10.2.
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.
