Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchValspar 6008-5A translated into the Sherwin-Williams line
The closest Sherwin-Williams paint to Valspar Desert Flower (6008-5A) is Lemon Meringue SW 7561, a delta-E of 1.76 away — close enough to swap without anyone noticing, though a large sample in daylight will show the difference.
Lemon Meringue is 1.5 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as yellow against yellow, at chroma 15.9 and 17.6.
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.
