Relaxed Navy in Sherwin-Williams

Valspar 5001-2B translated into the Sherwin-Williams line

Valspar Relaxed Navy 5001-2B on a wall, hex #59686C
Sherwin-Williams Grays Harbor SW 6236 on a wall, hex #596368

The closest Sherwin-Williams paint to Valspar Relaxed Navy (5001-2B) is Grays Harbor SW 6236, a delta-E of 2.6 away — the nearest Sherwin-Williams makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.

Grays Harbor is 0.9 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as blue cast against teal cast, at chroma 4.9 and 6.3.

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.
