MAC Cosmetics Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 Foundation NC10 is a medium, warm-toned shade that sits in a well-populated part of the colour space. 13 other foundation lines carry something measurably close, and the nearest — Dior Forever Skin Wear Blurring Natural Matte Foundation 2WO 2 Warm Olive — is within ΔE 0.9, which is close enough that most people would not see the difference on skin.

NC10 in every other brand
Across the 14 lines that carry something close, the measured distance runs from ΔE 0.9 (Dior) out to ΔE 4.6 (NYX Professional Makeup). 3 of them hold the same warm 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, Dior 2WO 2 Warm Olive, is olive rather than warm — if undertone matters more to you than depth, Charlotte Tilbury 4 Warm at ΔE 1.7 is the better pick.
