Vista Paint Mocha Java 8646 on a wall, hex #82675D
Valspar Sea Lion Brown 2003-9B on a wall, hex #896B5E

The closest Valspar paint to Vista Paint Mocha Java (8646) is Sea Lion Brown 2003-9B, a delta-E of 2.9 away — the nearest Valspar makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.

Sea Lion Brown is 3 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as orange against red undertone, at chroma 15.5 and 13.4.

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.
