Will the Farrow & Ball 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 Farrow & Ball
Converting a Valspar paint color to Farrow & Ball 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 Farrow & Ball deck using ΔE2000, the color-difference standard paint labs rely on, and puts the closest Farrow & Ball equivalent at the top of the list.
For example, the nearest Farrow & Ball match to Valspar Du Jour is White Tie (No. 2002) — a ΔE 0.57 match, close enough to read as the same color on the wall.
Once you have the Farrow & Ball name and code, ask for it at any paint store. Farrow & Ball colors are mixed to order on the same tinting machines, so you can buy the converted color anywhere Farrow & Ball is sold.
Why Convert Valspar to Farrow & Ball?
Most people convert Valspar to Farrow & Ball for one of a few reasons. The most common is availability — your local store carries Farrow & Ball but not Valspar, so matching the color lets you buy it close to home. Others switch because a favorite Valspar color was discontinued, because Farrow & Ball runs cheaper for the same shade, or because a contractor only sprays Farrow & Ball and wants the whole job in one line.
Whatever the reason, the goal is the same: get a Farrow & Ball color that looks like the Valspar original. Every match on this page is a real, in-stock Farrow & Ball paint, so there is no custom mixing needed to make the swap.
Buying the Farrow & Ball Equivalent
Take the Farrow & Ball 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 Farrow & Ball 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 Farrow & Ball conversion — FAQ
Is there a Farrow & Ball equivalent for every Valspar color?+
For almost every color, yes. Farrow & Ball carries a deep deck, so most Valspar colors land a close Farrow & Ball 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 Farrow & Ball counter about a custom tint to your hex.
What is the closest Farrow & Ball color to Valspar Du Jour?+
The closest Farrow & Ball match to Valspar Du Jour (7002-16) is White Tie (No. 2002), a ΔE 0.57 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 Farrow & Ball 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 Farrow & Ball sample next to the old Valspar paint and check it in your room's light before painting the whole wall.
Can I convert Farrow & Ball colors back to Valspar?+
Yes — use the Farrow & Ball → Valspar converter for the reverse direction. It works the same way, finding the closest Valspar color to any Farrow & Ball shade.
Does Valspar or Farrow & Ball 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 Farrow & Ball specifically because the Farrow & Ball version of a color comes out cheaper, but it is worth comparing the exact products side by side.
How accurate is this Valspar to Farrow & Ball 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.
