Nearest colors in other brands
Nearest means the smallest CIEDE2000 distance between CIELAB values converted from the manufacturer-published hex. It is not an official brand equivalent and it is not a spectrophotometer reading of the paint. Calculated from this hex, b* is 4.0, which reads fairly neutral on a screen. That calculation is not a manufacturer undertone. How we match.
