Jet Gray

Filed as neutral, carried by a true neutral that shows more in a large room than on a small chip. Vista Paint lists it as Jet Gray (0548).

At chroma 1.2 the true neutral shows up against a neutral background and disappears against anything with stronger colour. South light flatters it. In a north-facing room it can turn cold, so sample that wall first.

LRV 34.0 - comfortably in the range that suits a whole room rather than one wall. Works as a backdrop for artwork, furniture, or anything else in the room that is meant to stand out more than the walls do.

If a second wall color is wanted in the same room, Dunn-Edwards Snowflake keeps the jump obvious rather than muddy (roughly 53 LRV points from this one).

By the numbers, Benjamin Moore Sterling Silver (1461) and this color are indistinguishable - delta-E 0.94, well under what the eye can separate. This is not a rare shade: 3 colors from other brands sit within delta-E 2 of it. Eggshell is a common middle ground here - enough durability for a lived-in room without the sheen that would draw attention to wall imperfections.

It is lighter than 32 percent of the Vista Paint range. Vista Paint lists it in the C codes, alongside 1,421 other colors.
