Sherwin-Williams Satin vs. Valspar Eggshell
Named by G21_HARD_GATE_CLOSURE.md's Closure 6 as one of the three forum-confirmed brand+sheen-name pairs, and it resolves to STRONG_OVERLAP at 85 degrees (8 gloss-unit overlap) — a second concrete example, alongside the BM pair, of a 'Satin' from one brand physically matching an 'Eggshell' from another rather than the same-named 'Satin' at Valspar (which does not overlap at all).
A second worked example of the same underlying confusion documented across professional-painter and DIY forums: a “Satin” from one brand and an “Eggshell” from another can measure closer than two products sharing the same sheen name. See the published ranges and the verdict above for what each manufacturer’s own data sheet reports.
Valspar Eggshell's published range overlaps most of Sherwin-Williams Satin's range — this is your closest measured match.
