Vista Paint 8247 translated into the PPG line
The closest PPG paint to Vista Paint Gray Whale Cove (8247) is Improbable 1011-5, a delta-E of 2.76 away — the nearest PPG makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.
Improbable is 1 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as true neutral against blue cast, at chroma 2.6 and 4.4.
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.
