The closest Dunn-Edwards paint to Vista Paint Liveliness (0979) is Sandstorm DE5295, a delta-E of 1.36 away — close enough to swap without anyone noticing, though a large sample in daylight will show the difference.
Sandstorm is 2.2 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as yellow against yellow, at chroma 21.6 and 22.5.
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.
