NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation M1 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 — L'Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Foundation N3 Natural Buff — is within ΔE 1.0, which is close enough that most people would not see the difference on skin.

M1 Punjab in every other brand
Across the 14 lines that carry something close, the measured distance runs from ΔE 1.0 (L'Oreal Paris) out to ΔE 7.0 (NYX Professional Makeup). 4 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, L'Oreal Paris N3 Natural Buff, is neutral rather than warm — if undertone matters more to you than depth, Maybelline 220 Natural Beige at ΔE 1.1 is the better pick.
