The closest Sherwin-Williams paint to PPG Phoenix Fossil (1009-5) is Tin Lizzie SW 9163, a delta-E of 1.97 away — close enough to swap without anyone noticing, though a large sample in daylight will show the difference.

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.
