Soft rather than pale-to-invisible - the teal is faint but genuinely there. RF230-02 in the Kilz range.
At LRV 60.3 it sits where most rooms want a wall: light enough to feel open, dark enough to have a surface. Chroma 15.3 keeps the teal present without letting it run the room.
A warm bulb is the easiest fix if this reads colder than expected once it is on the wall. A good fit for bedrooms and nurseries, where softness matters more than intensity. Vista Paint Light Lavendar pairs well as a second surface - close enough in feel to belong in the same room, far enough in lightness to read as two distinct walls (about 24.7 points apart on the reflectance scale).
For anyone tied to a different brand, Benjamin Moore Sea Isle (751) is the nearest stand-in, at a delta-E of 1.76. A satin finish is worth it in a room that needs to be wiped down often, at the cost of showing a bit more of the wall's surface than a flat finish would.
It is lighter than 73 percent of the Kilz range. Kilz lists it in the RF codes, alongside 38 other colors.
