Vista Paint 0527Vista Paint 0527It reads as a neutral with a true neutral. In the Vista Paint lineup this is 0527.
At chroma 2.8 the true neutral shows up against a neutral background and disappears against anything with stronger colour. Warm bulbs will soften it; daylight bulbs push it further cool.
LRV 25.0 - comfortably in the range that suits a whole room rather than one wall. Suits both quiet, restful rooms and busier shared spaces, which is most of what makes a neutral a neutral.
If a second wall color is wanted in the same room, Dunn-Edwards Porpoise keeps the jump obvious rather than muddy (roughly 45.8 LRV points from this one).
Benjamin Moore Shaker Gray (1594) runs close enough - delta-E 1.23 - that swapping brands should not change how the room looks. Only 2 other-brand colors land within delta-E 2 of this one, which makes it comparatively unusual. A satin finish is worth it in a room that needs to be wiped down often, at the cost of showing a bit more of the wall's surface than a flat finish would.
