Lovely Lace

Soft rather than pale-to-invisible - the yellow undertone is faint but genuinely there. OW131 in the Vista Paint range.

LRV 79.0 - comfortably in the range that suits a whole room rather than one wall. Chroma 11.6 keeps the yellow undertone present without letting it run the room.

In a room that gets little direct sun, this color's warmth does some of the work daylight would otherwise be doing. Holds up across a full room without the visual weight a darker or more saturated color would add. 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 10.6 points apart on the reflectance scale).

Benjamin Moore Sandy Shores (948) matches it closely enough that no one will tell them apart on a wall. Matte or low-sheen suits it on walls; higher gloss will exaggerate the undertone.

It is lighter than 85 percent of the Vista Paint range. This is a crowded part of the scale - 549 colors measure within a point of 79.0 - so most brands will have something close. Vista Paint lists it in the K codes, alongside 1,318 other colors.
