Will the PPG / Glidden version look the same?
If the ΔE is under 2, almost certainly — most people can't tell two colors with ΔE under 2 apart, even side by side. 2–3.5 is close; above 5 starts to read as a different color. These matches use published hex values, which are approximations of the real paint, so always brush a sample on the wall before you commit.
How To Convert a Benjamin Moore Color to PPG / Glidden
Converting a Benjamin Moore paint color to PPG / Glidden takes two steps. First, find the Benjamin Moore color you want to switch — type its name or code into the search box above, or click the swatch to pick the color by hand. The tool compares it against the full PPG / Glidden deck using ΔE2000, the color-difference standard paint labs rely on, and puts the closest PPG / Glidden equivalent at the top of the list.
For example, the nearest PPG / Glidden match to Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter is Great Gray (PPG15-28) — a ΔE 1.33 match, close enough to read as the same color on the wall.
Once you have the PPG / Glidden name and code, ask for it at any paint store. PPG / Glidden colors are mixed to order on the same tinting machines, so you can buy the converted color anywhere PPG / Glidden is sold.
Why Convert Benjamin Moore to PPG / Glidden?
Most people convert Benjamin Moore to PPG / Glidden for one of a few reasons. The most common is availability — your local store carries PPG / Glidden but not Benjamin Moore, so matching the color lets you buy it close to home. Others switch because a favorite Benjamin Moore color was discontinued, because PPG / Glidden runs cheaper for the same shade, or because a contractor only sprays PPG / Glidden and wants the whole job in one line.
Whatever the reason, the goal is the same: get a PPG / Glidden color that looks like the Benjamin Moore original. Every match on this page is a real, in-stock PPG / Glidden paint, so there is no custom mixing needed to make the swap.
Buying the PPG / Glidden Equivalent
Take the PPG / Glidden color name and code to the paint counter and ask for it in the finish you need — matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss. Finish changes how a color reads, so if you are matching an existing Benjamin Moore wall, try to use the same sheen.
Buy a sample pot of the PPG / Glidden match first and brush it on the wall next to the Benjamin Moore original if you still have it. Let it dry fully and look at it in daylight and under your lamps at night before you commit to a full gallon.
Benjamin Moore to PPG / Glidden conversion — FAQ
Is there a PPG / Glidden equivalent for every Benjamin Moore color?+
For almost every color, yes. PPG / Glidden carries a deep deck, so most Benjamin Moore colors land a close PPG / Glidden match — usually under ΔE 2, which looks identical to the eye. A handful of very saturated or specialty Benjamin Moore colors may only reach a ΔE 3–5 match; in that case, ask the PPG / Glidden counter about a custom tint to your hex.
What is the closest PPG / Glidden color to Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter?+
The closest PPG / Glidden match to Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter (HC-172) is Great Gray (PPG15-28), a ΔE 1.33 match. You can find the same kind of equivalent for any other Benjamin Moore color using the search box at the top of this page.
Will PPG / Glidden paint match my existing Benjamin Moore walls?+
If the ΔE is under 2 it will be very close, but an existing wall may have faded or yellowed over the years. Always brush a PPG / Glidden sample next to the old Benjamin Moore paint and check it in your room's light before painting the whole wall.
Can I convert PPG / Glidden colors back to Benjamin Moore?+
Yes — use the PPG / Glidden → Benjamin Moore converter for the reverse direction. It works the same way, finding the closest Benjamin Moore color to any PPG / Glidden shade.
Does Benjamin Moore or PPG / Glidden paint cost less?+
Prices change by region, store, and sale, and the two brands sit in different product lines, so check current pricing at your local store. Many people convert Benjamin Moore to PPG / Glidden specifically because the PPG / Glidden version of a color comes out cheaper, but it is worth comparing the exact products side by side.
How accurate is this Benjamin Moore to PPG / Glidden conversion?+
The matches use ΔE2000, the same perceptual color-difference formula paint chemists use to check that two batches came out the same. It is accurate for choosing between real paint formulas, but the hex values are screen approximations — so a sample on the wall is always the final check.
