e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo Hydrating CC Cream SPF 30 280 is a medium, neutral-toned shade that sits in a well-populated part of the colour space. 12 other foundation lines carry something measurably close, and the nearest — Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte's Beautiful Skin Foundation 8 Warm — is within ΔE 1.0, which is close enough that most people would not see the difference on skin.

Across the 13 lines that carry something close, the measured distance runs from ΔE 1.0 (Charlotte Tilbury) out to ΔE 4.4 (Dior). 2 of them hold the same neutral undertone; the rest shift, which matters more than a small difference in depth. 12 land in the good band or better. Note that the closest shade by distance, Charlotte Tilbury 8 Warm, is warm rather than neutral — if undertone matters more to you than depth, Laura Mercier 4N1 Ginger at ΔE 1.9 is the better pick. 1 further line has nothing close enough to list.

Where there is no match

One line carries nothing within ΔE 7 of 280 Light 280 N, so it is left out of the table above rather than padded with a match that would not work: NYX Professional Makeup.
