Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchSherwin-Williams SW 0012 translated into the Benjamin Moore line
The closest Benjamin Moore paint to Sherwin-Williams Empire Gold (SW 0012) is Ginger Root CC-274, a delta-E of 2.8 away — the nearest Benjamin Moore makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.
Ginger Root is 2 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as yellow against yellow, at chroma 32.1 and 30.8.
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.
