Fresh Start

This is a statement first and a wall color second. Vista Paint lists it as Fresh Start (0784).

At chroma 24.1 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 yellow-green is more noticeable under cool, daylight-balanced bulbs than under standard warm ones, which tend to mute it. 64.0 on the light-reflectance scale is unremarkable on its own; the chroma is what actually drives how this color behaves.

Worth checking before committing to a full wall: blues and cool greys nearby - in a floor, a rug, a piece of furniture - will read as a clash here, not a complement, since the two colors sit at opposite ends of the spectrum.

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 a second wall color is wanted in the same room, Dunn-Edwards Snowflake keeps the jump obvious rather than muddy (roughly 23 LRV points from this one). A flatter finish keeps this much color from creating harsh reflections.

If the brand is not fixed, Dunn-Edwards Trailing Vine (DE5541) is the same color by measurement - delta-E 0.48. Only 2 other-brand colors land within delta-E 2 of this one, which makes it comparatively unusual.

It is lighter than 67 percent of the Vista Paint range. Vista Paint lists it in the C codes, alongside 1,421 other colors.
