Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchVista Paint 0549 translated into the Kilz line
The closest Kilz paint to Vista Paint Emu (0549) is Acoustic Brown TB-29, a delta-E of 2.48 away — the nearest Kilz makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.
Acoustic Brown is 3 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as red cast against true neutral, at chroma 3.5 and 2.5.
Codes are not transferable between manufacturers and no brand publishes a conversion table, so every figure here is measured from the published hex values rather than taken from a chart.
