Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchSherwin-Williams SW 1666 translated into the PPG line
The closest PPG paint to Sherwin-Williams Venetian Yellow (SW 1666) is Butterfly Bush 1214-4, a delta-E of 3.1 away — the nearest PPG makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.
Butterfly Bush is 3.4 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as yellow against yellow, at chroma 31.9 and 34.8.
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.
