Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchSherwin-Williams SW 6226 translated into the Valspar line
The closest Valspar paint to Sherwin-Williams Languid Blue (SW 6226) is Grey Brook 5001-1B, a delta-E of 3.27 away — the nearest Valspar makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.
Grey Brook is 2.2 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as teal cast against teal undertone, at chroma 4.6 and 7.5.
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.
