Common questions
How do I match a color to Sherwin-Williams?
Enter any hex value, paint name, or another brand's code, and the matcher returns the closest Sherwin-Williams paints ranked by how similar they look. For example, you can find the nearest Sherwin-Williams equivalent to a color like Alabaster in seconds.

Yes. Paste the color you have, from any brand, and you get its nearest Sherwin-Williams counterpart by color distance. It is the fastest way to keep a scheme you like while switching to paint your store carries.
Does each Sherwin-Williams match show its code and LRV?
Every Sherwin-Williams result lists its real code, codes like SW 6204, along with its LRV and undertone, so you can tell at a glance whether the match reads lighter, darker, warmer, or cooler than your original color.
How accurate are the Sherwin-Williams matches?
They are ranked by perceptual distance, so the top Sherwin-Williams result is the closest paint the brand makes, not just the closest hex code. Close is not identical, so put a sample on the wall before you buy gallons.
