Lincoln Park

Strong enough that it sets the palette for the room, not the other way around. 7673 in the Vista Paint range.

Chroma 23.6 is high enough that the color will bounce onto light surfaces, so expect it everywhere, not only on the wall. In a room with plenty of natural light, this can cover more wall area than it could in a dim one, where the same color reads heavier.

This is a color worth testing in the specific room it is going in - cool colors shift more than warm ones do between north and south walls. LRV 68.0 tells you how much light comes back, which matters less here than how much color comes with it.

This is one of the colors that can change identity with the light - somewhere between green and yellow, and near enough to the line between them (6°) that both readings are fair. Rooms already built around purples are the hardest fit for this color - the two are opposites, and opposites next to each other rarely feel calm.

Warm metals - brass, aged gold, unlacquered fixtures - gain a contrast against this that they do not have against a lighter wall; it is a common reason people choose a color this deep in the first place.

Behr Igloo 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 336 points apart on the reflectance scale). Matte suits a color this strong - a glossier sheen would turn every light source in the room into a visible hotspot on the wall.

For anyone tied to a different brand, Behr Peridot (430C-3) is the nearest stand-in, at a delta-E of 1.67. This is a relatively uncrowded spot in the spectrum - just 1 color from other brands come this close.

It is lighter than 73 percent of the Vista Paint range. This is a crowded part of the scale - 406 colors measure within a point of 68.0 - so most brands will have something close. Vista Paint lists it in the K codes, alongside 1,318 other colors.
