Vista Paint John's Blue 0617 on a wall, hex #87A4C0
Valspar Lovebirds 4004-5C on a wall, hex #87A8C2

The closest Valspar paint to Vista Paint John's Blue (0617) is Lovebirds 4004-5C, a delta-E of 2.17 away — the nearest Valspar makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.

Lovebirds is 1 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as blue against blue, at chroma 17.7 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.
