Vista Paint 0550 translated into the PPG line
The closest PPG paint to Vista Paint Gargoyle (0550) is Oswego Tea 1005-6, a delta-E of 1.38 away — close enough to swap without anyone noticing, though a large sample in daylight will show the difference.
Oswego Tea is 1 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as orange cast against red cast, at chroma 4.6 and 5.4.
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.
