Sherwin-Williams SW 2850 translated into the Dutch Boy line
The closest Dutch Boy paint to Sherwin-Williams Chelsea Gray (SW 2850) is Drifting Sand DCP-0218, a delta-E of 2.66 away — the nearest Dutch Boy makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.
Drifting Sand is 2.2 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as yellow cast against yellow-green cast, at chroma 5.1 and 3.8.
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.
