Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte's Beautiful Skin Foundation 5 Neutral is a medium, olive-toned shade that sits in a well-populated part of the colour space. 9 other foundation lines carry something measurably close, and the nearest — Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup 1W0 Warm Porcelain — is within ΔE 1.1, which is close enough that most people would not see the difference on skin.

Across the 14 lines that carry something close, the measured distance runs from ΔE 1.1 (Estée Lauder) out to ΔE 6.2 (NYX Professional Makeup). 1 of them hold the same olive undertone; the rest shift, which matters more than a small difference in depth. 9 land in the good band or better. Note that the closest shade by distance, Estée Lauder 1W0 Warm Porcelain, is warm rather than olive — if undertone matters more to you than depth, Dior 2WO 2 Warm Olive at ΔE 5.7 is the better pick.
