Vista Paint 0617 translated into the PPG line
The closest PPG paint to Vista Paint John's Blue (0617) is Kaleidoscope 1160-4, a delta-E of 3.7 away — the closest PPG has, and far enough away that you should sample it before committing.
Kaleidoscope is 2 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as blue against blue, at chroma 15.0 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.
