About this color

measured values, not opinion

Soft rather than pale-to-invisible - the yellow is faint but genuinely there. 8531 in the Vista Paint range.

LRV 70.0 - comfortably in the range that suits a whole room rather than one wall. Chroma 14.7 keeps the yellow present without letting it run the room.

It holds up in a north-facing room, which is where warmth is usually missing. Works well in rooms that need brightness but where a plain white feels too cold or too clinical. Dunn-Edwards Boysenberry Shadow pairs well as a second surface - close enough in feel to belong in the same room, far enough in lightness to read as two distinct walls (about 19.6 points apart on the reflectance scale).

If the brand is not fixed, Dunn-Edwards Jakarta (DEC737) is the same color by measurement - delta-E 0.6. This color reads consistently across most finishes, so the choice can come down to durability needs rather than how it changes the color.

It is lighter than 75 percent of the Vista Paint range. Vista Paint lists it in the K codes, alongside 1,318 other colors.
