Will the Benjamin Moore 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 Valspar Color to Benjamin Moore
Converting a Valspar paint color to Benjamin Moore takes two steps. First, find the Valspar 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 Benjamin Moore deck using ΔE2000, the color-difference standard paint labs rely on, and puts the closest Benjamin Moore equivalent at the top of the list.
For example, the nearest Benjamin Moore match to Valspar Du Jour is Linen White (912) — a ΔE 0.72 match, close enough to read as the same color on the wall.
Once you have the Benjamin Moore name and code, ask for it at any paint store. Benjamin Moore colors are mixed to order on the same tinting machines, so you can buy the converted color anywhere Benjamin Moore is sold.
Why Convert Valspar to Benjamin Moore?
Most people convert Valspar to Benjamin Moore for one of a few reasons. The most common is availability — your local store carries Benjamin Moore but not Valspar, so matching the color lets you buy it close to home. Others switch because a favorite Valspar color was discontinued, because Benjamin Moore runs cheaper for the same shade, or because a contractor only sprays Benjamin Moore and wants the whole job in one line.
Whatever the reason, the goal is the same: get a Benjamin Moore color that looks like the Valspar original. Every match on this page is a real, in-stock Benjamin Moore paint, so there is no custom mixing needed to make the swap.
Buying the Benjamin Moore Equivalent
Take the Benjamin Moore 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 Valspar wall, try to use the same sheen.
Buy a sample pot of the Benjamin Moore match first and brush it on the wall next to the Valspar 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.
Valspar to Benjamin Moore conversion — FAQ
Is there a Benjamin Moore equivalent for every Valspar color?+
For almost every color, yes. Benjamin Moore carries a deep deck, so most Valspar colors land a close Benjamin Moore match — usually under ΔE 2, which looks identical to the eye. A handful of very saturated or specialty Valspar colors may only reach a ΔE 3–5 match; in that case, ask the Benjamin Moore counter about a custom tint to your hex.
What is the closest Benjamin Moore color to Valspar Du Jour?+
The closest Benjamin Moore match to Valspar Du Jour (7002-16) is Linen White (912), a ΔE 0.72 match. You can find the same kind of equivalent for any other Valspar color using the search box at the top of this page.
Will Benjamin Moore paint match my existing Valspar 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 Benjamin Moore sample next to the old Valspar paint and check it in your room's light before painting the whole wall.
Can I convert Benjamin Moore colors back to Valspar?+
Yes — use the Benjamin Moore → Valspar converter for the reverse direction. It works the same way, finding the closest Valspar color to any Benjamin Moore shade.
Does Valspar or Benjamin Moore 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 Valspar to Benjamin Moore specifically because the Benjamin Moore version of a color comes out cheaper, but it is worth comparing the exact products side by side.
How accurate is this Valspar to Benjamin Moore 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.
