Shiitake in Valspar

Sherwin-Williams SW 9173 translated into the Valspar line

Sherwin-Williams Shiitake SW 9173 on a wall, hex #C8BCAB
Valspar Oatbran 6006-1B on a wall, hex #CEC1AE

The closest Valspar paint to Sherwin-Williams Shiitake (SW 9173) is Oatbran 6006-1B, a delta-E of 2.16 away — the nearest Valspar makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.

Oatbran is 2.8 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as yellow undertone against yellow undertone, at chroma 11.3 and 10.2.

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.
