The closest Sherwin-Williams paint to Vista Paint Brown Mountain (8501) is Cardboard SW 6124, a delta-E of 3.94 away — the closest Sherwin-Williams has, and far enough away that you should sample it before committing.

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.
