Sherwin-Williams
Sherwin-Williams is one of the largest paint manufacturers in North America, best known among homeowners and professional painters for its Emerald line — a premium acrylic latex positioned at the top of the company’s interior catalog. The brand is distributed primarily through its own network of company-owned Sherwin-Williams stores rather than third-party home-improvement retailers, which means pricing and in-store color-matching are typically handled directly by Sherwin-Williams staff rather than a big-box paint desk.
Sherwin-Williams publishes gloss/sheen figures for each finish in its Emerald Interior line on its own technical data sheets. GlossAtlas transcribes those figures directly — see the Emerald Interior line page for the full published range at each sheen, with a link to the source document behind every figure. This page does not repeat that table; it exists to orient you to the brand and point you toward the actual data.
If you already use a Sherwin-Williams Emerald finish and want to know what finish in another brand is physically closest by published gloss, the comparison tool walks you through it directly. A handful of the more frequently asked cross-brand questions involving Sherwin-Williams are also worked through in full on their own pages:
- Sherwin-Williams Emerald Satin vs. Benjamin Moore Aura Eggshell
- Sherwin-Williams Emerald Satin vs. Valspar Signature Eggshell
For background on how these comparisons are built — why GlossAtlas never converts a 60° figure to an 85° figure, and what “closest published match” does and doesn’t mean — see the methodology page.
