Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup 2W1 is a medium, warm-toned shade that sits in a well-populated part of the colour space. 9 other foundation lines carry something measurably close, and the nearest — Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Natural Glow Blurring Foundation 5.8 Medium, Warm Golden — is within ΔE 0.3, 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 0.3 (Giorgio Armani) out to ΔE 6.2 (NYX Professional Makeup). 7 of them hold the same warm undertone; the rest shift, which matters more than a small difference in depth. 9 land in the good band or better.
