L'Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Foundation N1 is a light, neutral-toned shade that sits in a well-populated part of the colour space. 10 other foundation lines carry something measurably close, and the nearest — Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation 120C — is within ΔE 0.8, 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 0.8 (Rare Beauty) out to ΔE 6.7 (NYX Professional Makeup). 8 of them hold the same neutral undertone; the rest shift, which matters more than a small difference in depth. 10 land in the good band or better. Note that the closest shade by distance, Rare Beauty 120C, is cool rather than neutral — if undertone matters more to you than depth, Charlotte Tilbury 2 Neutral at ΔE 1.6 is the better pick.
