Vista Paint Historic Shade 0372 on a wall, hex #AEA994
Farrow & Ball Light Gray 17 on a wall, hex #AFA592

The closest Farrow & Ball paint to Vista Paint Historic Shade (0372) is Light Gray 17, a delta-E of 2.48 away — the nearest Farrow & Ball makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.

Light Gray is 1.9 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as yellow undertone against yellow undertone, at chroma 11.2 and 11.6.

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.
