Yes, Lowe's sells Sherwin-Williams paint, but they carry a specific retail line called HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams.
No, the Sherwin-Williams paint sold at Lowe's is not the same quality as the paint sold at physical Sherwin-Williams retail stores. While manufactured by the same company, they feature different chemical formulations and are produced in different “good, better, best” tiers.

Yes, Home Depot can match Sherwin-Williams paint colors, and I've personally tried it with pretty good results. While it's usually close, it's not always a perfect match because each brand has different paint bases and finishes. If you're painting an entire wall or room, the difference is often hard to notice.
Whether you're looking for timeless beauty, vintage finds, perfectly polished looks or American heritage-inspired hues, you'll find the right shade at Lowe's. HGTV Home® by Sherwin-Williams paint colors come in virtually every hue imaginable.
