About this color

measured values, not opinion

This is depth rather than color in the usual sense - the yellow-green gives it a direction, but the darkness is the point. lots of Lime is Vista Paint's AC159.

LRV 5.0 means it returns almost no light, so whatever lighting the room has is the lighting you will see. Candlelight and low warm bulbs are where this color looks most like its chip; bright overhead light flattens the depth out of it.

In warm light this stays green; under cooler, daylight-style bulbs it can slide toward yellow. It's close enough to that edge that a sample is worth checking in the room's own lighting, not under a store's. Worth checking before committing to a full wall: purples nearby - in a floor, a rug, a piece of furniture - will read as a clash here, not a complement, since the two colors sit at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Next to it, white trim reads brighter and cooler than it does anywhere else in the house - the gap in light reflectance is what does that, not the trim paint itself. The safest multi-color scheme moves from this dark wall to a noticeably lighter secondary tone, then to a near-white ceiling - three genuinely different depths rather than three shades of the same idea (LRV 5.0, 45 and 85, if you're matching by the numbers).

Pairing it with a lighter ceiling keeps the room from feeling closed in, even when the walls themselves are painted all the way to this depth. For a secondary wall, Behr Grape Hyacinth gives a natural step up in brightness without feeling like a mismatch (roughly 42 LRV points apart).

Higher-sheen finishes will bounce highlights across a wall this dark, which can read as patchy rather than deliberate - matte avoids that.

No other brand has a color within delta-E 2 of this one - a genuinely uncommon shade.

Nearly everything Vista Paint makes is lighter than this: 0 of their 2,742 colors sit below it. Among greens it is one of the strongest: only 1 percent of them carry more colour. Vista Paint lists it in the K codes, alongside 1,318 other colors.
