Vista Paint 0617 translated into the Kilz line

Vista Paint John's Blue 0617 on a wall, hex #87A4C0
Kilz High Tide TB-47 on a wall, hex #85A9C6

The closest Kilz paint to Vista Paint John's Blue (0617) is High Tide TB-47, a delta-E of 2.6 away — the nearest Kilz makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.

High Tide is 1 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as blue against blue, at chroma 19.5 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.
