Vista Paint 0561Vista Paint 0561Filed as neutral, carried by a yellow cast that shows more in a large room than on a small chip. Vista Paint lists it as In the Hills (0561).
At chroma 6.3 the yellow cast shows up against a neutral background and disappears against anything with stronger colour. The yellow cast leans into warm light rather than fighting it, so this is a forgiving choice under standard incandescent or warm-LED bulbs.
LRV 40.0 - comfortably in the range that suits a whole room rather than one wall. Open-plan walls, hallways, anywhere the color has to work in several exposures at once.
If a second wall color is wanted in the same room, Dunn-Edwards Lighthouse keeps the jump obvious rather than muddy (roughly 50.3 LRV points from this one).
