Divine Vine

Strong enough that it sets the palette for the room, not the other way around. 7840 in the Vista Paint range.

Chroma 28.4 is high enough that the color will bounce onto light surfaces, so expect it everywhere, not only on the wall. In a room with plenty of natural light, this can cover more wall area than it could in a dim one, where the same color reads heavier.

A warm bulb is the easiest fix if this reads colder than expected once it is on the wall. LRV 64.0 tells you how much light comes back, which matters less here than how much color comes with it.

Not quite yellow, not quite orange - this sits right where the two meet, so the room's own lighting ends up deciding which one you actually see. This color and blues and cool greys don't get along in the same room - they sit on opposite sides of the spectrum, so pairing them tends to feel like tension rather than contrast.

Wood tones next to this read darker and richer than they do against a paler wall; it is one of the more dependable effects of putting a light-absorbing color next to anything reflective.

Dunn-Edwards Boysenberry Shadow 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 25.6 points apart on the reflectance scale). Matte suits a color this strong - a glossier sheen would turn every light source in the room into a visible hotspot on the wall.

For anyone tied to a different brand, PPG Twinkle Toes (1109-3) is the nearest stand-in, at a delta-E of 1.56. Only 1 other-brand color land within delta-E 2 of this one, which makes it comparatively unusual.

It is lighter than 67 percent of the Vista Paint range. Vista Paint lists it in the K codes, alongside 1,318 other colors.
