Sherwin-Williams Classic French Gray SW 0077 on a wall, hex #888782

The closest Sherwin-Williams paint to Vista Paint Slippery Shale (8328) is Classic French Gray SW 0077, a delta-E of 2.34 away — the nearest Sherwin-Williams makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.

Classic French Gray is 0.8 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as true neutral against yellow-green cast, at chroma 2.9 and 3.8.

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.
