Will the Valspar 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 Valspar
Converting a Benjamin Moore paint color to Valspar 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 Valspar deck using ΔE2000, the color-difference standard paint labs rely on, and puts the closest Valspar equivalent at the top of the list.
For example, the nearest Valspar match to Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter is Soft Pelican (8005-5B) — a ΔE 0.78 match, close enough to read as the same color on the wall.
Once you have the Valspar name and code, ask for it at any paint store. Valspar colors are mixed to order on the same tinting machines, so you can buy the converted color anywhere Valspar is sold.
Why Convert Benjamin Moore to Valspar?
Most people convert Benjamin Moore to Valspar for one of a few reasons. The most common is availability — your local store carries Valspar 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 Valspar runs cheaper for the same shade, or because a contractor only sprays Valspar and wants the whole job in one line.
Whatever the reason, the goal is the same: get a Valspar color that looks like the Benjamin Moore original. Every match on this page is a real, in-stock Valspar paint, so there is no custom mixing needed to make the swap.
Buying the Valspar Equivalent
Take the Valspar 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 Valspar 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 Valspar conversion — FAQ
Is there a Valspar equivalent for every Benjamin Moore color?+
For almost every color, yes. Valspar carries a deep deck, so most Benjamin Moore colors land a close Valspar 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 Valspar counter about a custom tint to your hex.
What is the closest Valspar color to Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter?+
The closest Valspar match to Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter (HC-172) is Soft Pelican (8005-5B), a ΔE 0.78 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 Valspar 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 Valspar sample next to the old Benjamin Moore paint and check it in your room's light before painting the whole wall.
Can I convert Valspar colors back to Benjamin Moore?+
Yes — use the Valspar → Benjamin Moore converter for the reverse direction. It works the same way, finding the closest Benjamin Moore color to any Valspar shade.
Does Benjamin Moore or Valspar 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 Valspar specifically because the Valspar 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 Valspar 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.
