About this color

measured values, not opinion

This sits close to white on the light meter but keeps its yellow clearly enough to be picked out of a lineup of whites. Vista Paint lists it as Haystack (0887).

At LRV 78.0 it sits where most rooms want a wall: light enough to feel open, dark enough to have a surface. At chroma 14.6 the yellow is clear in daylight and softer under lamps.

The yellow leans into warm light rather than fighting it, so this is a forgiving choice under standard incandescent or warm-LED bulbs. Holds up across a full room without the visual weight a darker or more saturated color would add. If a second wall color is wanted in the same room, Dunn-Edwards Boysenberry Shadow keeps the jump obvious rather than muddy (roughly 11.6 LRV points from this one).

By the numbers, Benjamin Moore Simply Irresistible (205) and this color are indistinguishable - delta-E 0.74, well under what the eye can separate. A satin finish is worth it in a room that needs to be wiped down often, at the cost of showing a bit more of the wall's surface than a flat finish would.

It is lighter than 84 percent of the Vista Paint range. Vista Paint lists it in the C codes, alongside 1,421 other colors.
