Sherwin-Williams Classic Sand SW 0056 on a wall, hex #D6BCAA
Benjamin Moore Crossroads 1226 on a wall, hex #D8BDAD

The closest Benjamin Moore paint to Sherwin-Williams Classic Sand (SW 0056) is Crossroads 1226, a delta-E of 1.22 away — close enough to swap without anyone noticing, though a large sample in daylight will show the difference.

Crossroads is 0.8 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as orange undertone against orange, at chroma 13.6 and 14.0.

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.
