Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchVista Paint 0549 translated into the PPG line
The closest PPG paint to Vista Paint Emu (0549) is Cool Charcoal 1007-6, a delta-E of 3.48 away — the nearest PPG makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.
Cool Charcoal is 2 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as yellow 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.
