Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchValspar 5006-5A translated into the Dutch Boy line
The closest Dutch Boy paint to Valspar Minty Delight (5006-5A) is Mellow Blue DCP-0468, a delta-E of 2.71 away — the nearest Dutch Boy makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.
Light reflectance is effectively identical, 78.1 against 78.6. Undertone reads as green cast against green undertone, at chroma 5.0 and 7.4.
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.
