Best Sherwin-Williams Alternatives to Benjamin Moore's Most Popular Colors

Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams are the two most popular paint brands in North America, but their colors don't always cross-reference neatly. If your painter stocks Sherwin-Williams but you fell in love with a Benjamin Moore swatch, this guide shows you the closest match — backed by Delta E 2000 color science.

How We Match Colors

We use the Delta E 2000 formula, which measures the perceptible difference between two colors in a way that aligns with human vision. A Delta E under 1.0 is virtually indistinguishable; under 2.0 is a very close match that most people won't notice. Our database covers 14 major paint brands with over 25,000 colors.
