Vista Paint 0517Vista Paint 0517Filed as neutral, carried by a true neutral that shows more in a large room than on a small chip. Vista Paint lists it as Cool Elegance (0517).
At chroma 0.7 the true neutral shows up against a neutral background and disappears against anything with stronger colour. Warm bulbs will soften it; daylight bulbs push it further cool.
LRV 64.0 - comfortably in the range that suits a whole room rather than one wall. Open-plan walls, hallways, anywhere the color has to work in several exposures at once.
