Valspar finishes, matched to other brands
GlossAtlas covers Valspar's two interior lines (Signature and Ultra), 8 finishes in all. Each is matched below to the closest finish at the other three brands, same angle only. The source figures and data sheets for each line follow the tables.
What the numbers say about Valspar's finish names
- Valspar Ultra Satin is published at 60° only, so Sherwin-Williams' own Satin finishes cannot be compared with it: Emerald Satin (85° only), Duration Home Satin (85° only). The closest comparable finishes are tied: Sherwin-Williams' Emerald Semi-Gloss (3 gloss units glossier at 60°) and Sherwin-Williams' Duration Home Semi-Gloss (3 gloss units glossier at 60°).
- Benjamin Moore's Regal Select Pearl is a closer published match to Valspar Signature Satin than Benjamin Moore's own Aura Satin (10 gloss units shared, versus 2 gloss units shared).
