Sherwin-Williams to Valspar

Switching from Sherwin-Williams to Valspar usually means moving from a paint store to Lowe's. Valspar Signature competes with SW's value tier on price but the formulation hides brush marks less effectively at scale. Color matching is reasonable in neutrals — SW Repose Gray finds a near-identical Valspar match — but bold colors can read flatter.
