Dunn-Edwards Bachelor Blue DE5878 on a wall, hex #8FAACA

The closest Dunn-Edwards paint to Vista Paint John's Blue (0617) is Bachelor Blue DE5878, a delta-E of 3.4 away — the nearest Dunn-Edwards makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.

Bachelor Blue is 2.9 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as blue against blue, at chroma 19.4 and 18.0.

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.
