Sands of Time in Valspar

Sherwin-Williams SW 6101 translated into the Valspar line

Sherwin-Williams Sands of Time SW 6101 on a wall, hex #BCA38B
Valspar Faint Maple 2008-9C on a wall, hex #B49D88

The closest Valspar paint to Sherwin-Williams Sands of Time (SW 6101) is Faint Maple 2008-9C, a delta-E of 2.95 away — the nearest Valspar makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.

Faint Maple is 3.6 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as orange against orange, at chroma 15.0 and 16.8.

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.
