It keeps its yellow-green undertone while staying light. Vista Paint files it as 0455.
At LRV 60.0 it sits where most rooms want a wall: light enough to feel open, dark enough to have a surface. Chroma 7.8 sits in a comfortable middle: present enough to notice, restrained enough to live with.
Warm bulbs will soften it; daylight bulbs push it further cool. A dependable choice where a room gets good natural light and a pure white would feel sterile. For a secondary wall, Dunn-Edwards Lighthouse gives a natural step up in brightness without feeling like a mismatch (roughly 30.3 LRV points apart).
For anyone tied to a different brand, Behr Frosted Sage (N400-2) is the nearest stand-in, at a delta-E of 1.76. 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 65 percent of the Vista Paint range. It is one of the quietest greens in the catalog, which is why it reads as a neutral on a large wall. Vista Paint lists it in the C codes, alongside 1,421 other colors.
