The closest Dutch Boy paint to Sherwin-Williams Temperate Taupe (SW 6037) is Drifting Sand DCP-0218, a delta-E of 4.03 away — the closest Dutch Boy has, and far enough away that you should sample it before committing.

Drifting Sand is 0.9 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as yellow cast against orange cast, at chroma 5.1 and 6.6.

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.
