Benjamin Moore Satin vs. Behr Satin

The third of the three forum-confirmed pairs named in G21_HARD_GATE_CLOSURE.md Closure 6. Unlike the two SW pairs above, this one is instructive precisely because it does NOT overlap (NEAREST_NON_OVERLAPPING at 60 degrees, a 3-gloss-unit gap) even though both brands use the identical marketing name 'Satin' — a concrete, sourced counter-example to the assumption that a shared sheen name guarantees a shared physical measurement, which is exactly the confusion the named forum threads describe.

This pairing is worth reading carefully for the opposite reason the two Sherwin-Williams pairs above are: both manufacturers use the identical marketing name “Satin,” which is exactly the kind of case that leads people to assume two products must be the same. The forum threads behind this pairing ask the same “is Brand A’s sheen name physically the same as Brand B’s” question documented for the other pairs on this site. See the published ranges and the verdict above for what the data sheets actually report.

No published range overlaps Benjamin Moore Satin exactly. The closest is Behr Satin, about 3 gloss units flatter.
