Green Glow

There is no reading this as a background color. In the Vista Paint lineup this is 0788.

At chroma 34.2 it will not sit quietly next to another strong color. Used across a whole room it needs restraint in the decor - furniture and textiles that stay quiet so the wall can carry the color.

South light flatters it. In a north-facing room it can turn cold, so sample that wall first. 22.0 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. The safest multi-color scheme moves from this dark wall to a noticeably lighter secondary tone, then to a near-white ceiling - three genuinely different depths rather than three shades of the same idea (LRV 22.0, 54 and 85, if you're matching by the numbers).

If a second wall color is wanted in the same room, Dunn-Edwards Silver Bullet keeps the jump obvious rather than muddy (roughly 24.5 LRV points from this one). A flatter finish keeps this much color from creating harsh reflections.

Dunn-Edwards Fresh Artichoke (DE5545) matches it closely enough that no one will tell them apart on a wall. Only 1 other-brand color land within delta-E 2 of this one, which makes it comparatively unusual.

It is lighter than 20 percent of the Vista Paint range. Vista Paint lists it in the C codes, alongside 1,421 other colors.
