Euphoric Rose

Saturated enough that everything else in the room answers to it. Vista Paint files it as 8135.

Chroma 26.4 is high enough to dominate a room's palette rather than join it. Best reserved for rooms you pass through or visit rather than ones you spend hours in - the intensity that makes a strong first impression can tire the eye over a full day.

Warm bulbs will soften it; daylight bulbs push it further cool. LRV 38.0 puts it in the middle of the scale, but saturation, not lightness, is what you will react to.

Rooms already built around greens are the hardest fit for this color - the two are opposites, and opposites next to each other rarely feel calm.

Next to it, white trim reads brighter and cooler than it does anywhere else in the house - the gap in light reflectance is what does that, not the trim paint itself. For layering, pair this with a clearly lighter mid-tone on a secondary wall or cabinetry, and keep the ceiling close to white. The gap between each step should be big enough to see without thinking about it (roughly 38.0 / 62 / 85 on the reflectance scale).

For a secondary wall, Behr Bakery Box gives a natural step up in brightness without feeling like a mismatch (roughly 366 LRV points apart). If the wall needs to be washable, eggshell is the highest sheen worth considering before the color starts looking artificial under light.

Switching brands, Dunn-Edwards Exotic Lilac (DE5017) is the closest equivalent at delta-E 1.2, near enough for most rooms. This is a relatively uncrowded spot in the spectrum - just 1 color from other brands come this close.

It is lighter than 38 percent of the Vista Paint range. Vista Paint lists it in the K codes, alongside 1,318 other colors.
