Filed as neutral, carried by a yellow cast that shows more in a large room than on a small chip. Vista Paint lists it as Dove White (0018).
Chroma 4.8 means the color content is small, which is exactly why the yellow cast matters so much - there is nothing else here to distract from it. The yellow cast leans into warm light rather than fighting it, so this is a forgiving choice under standard incandescent or warm-LED bulbs.
LRV 75.0 - 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.
If a second wall color is wanted in the same room, Dunn-Edwards Lighthouse keeps the jump obvious rather than muddy (roughly 15.3 LRV points from this one).
Benjamin Moore Classic Gray (OC-23) matches it closely enough that no one will tell them apart on a wall. This is not a rare shade: 8 colors from other brands sit within delta-E 2 of it. This color reads consistently across most finishes, so the choice can come down to durability needs rather than how it changes the color.
It is lighter than 79 percent of the Vista Paint range. The name is not unique: Dutch Boy DCP-0018 and Valspar 7002-7 also sell a color called Dove White, and it is not the same shade. Vista Paint lists it in the C codes, alongside 1,421 other colors.
