Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Foundation 2N1 is a medium, neutral-toned shade that sits in a well-populated part of the colour space. 13 other foundation lines carry something measurably close, and the nearest — Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Natural Glow Blurring Foundation 3.75 Fair, Cool Pink — is within ΔE 0.4, which is close enough that most people would not see the difference on skin.

2N1 Cashew in every other brand
Across the 14 lines that carry something close, the measured distance runs from ΔE 0.4 (Giorgio Armani) out to ΔE 4.9 (NYX Professional Makeup). 6 of them hold the same neutral undertone; the rest shift, which matters more than a small difference in depth. 13 land in the good band or better. Note that the closest shade by distance, Giorgio Armani 3.75 Fair, Cool Pink, is cool rather than neutral — if undertone matters more to you than depth, Rare Beauty 130N at ΔE 2.0 is the better pick.
