PPG Phoenix Fossil 1009-5 on a wall, hex #8E908D
Valspar Stone Mason Gray 4008-1C on a wall, hex #959896

The closest Valspar paint to PPG Phoenix Fossil (1009-5) is Stone Mason Gray 4008-1C, a delta-E of 3.09 away — the nearest Valspar makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.

Stone Mason Gray is 3 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as true neutral against true neutral, at chroma 1.6 and 1.9.

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.
