Enchanted Evening

There is no reading this as a background color. In the Vista Paint lineup this is 0673.

At chroma 27.4 it will not sit quietly next to another strong color. On one wall of an otherwise neutral room, this reads as a deliberate choice rather than an overwhelming one.

The teal is more noticeable under cool, daylight-balanced bulbs than under standard warm ones, which tend to mute it. 48.0 on the light-reflectance scale is unremarkable on its own; the chroma is what actually drives how this color behaves.

This color and reds and brick tones 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.

Anything pale placed against this wall will look paler than it is; anything warm-metal will look warmer. Neither is an illusion the color plays deliberately - it is simple contrast, but worth planning rather than discovering. If the room needs more than one wall color, keep the steps far apart: this color, then something clearly lighter for a second surface, then a bright white above. Two similar tones just look like a mismatch; three distinct ones read as a plan (about 48.0 to 67 to 85 in LRV terms).

If a second wall color is wanted in the same room, Dunn-Edwards Angel Feather keeps the jump obvious rather than muddy (roughly 39.1 LRV points from this one). A flatter finish keeps this much color from creating harsh reflections.

For anyone tied to a different brand, Benjamin Moore Madison Avenue (759) is the nearest stand-in, at a delta-E of 1.58. Only 1 other-brand color land within delta-E 2 of this one, which makes it comparatively unusual.

It is lighter than 51 percent of the Vista Paint range. The name is not unique: Behr 640F-6 and PPG 1236-2 also sell a color called Enchanted Evening, and it is not the same shade. Vista Paint lists it in the C codes, alongside 1,421 other colors.
