Light, but with enough yellow to be a color rather than a white. In the Vista Paint lineup this is 0265.
LRV 63.0 - comfortably in the range that suits a whole room rather than one wall. At chroma 18.0 the yellow is clear in daylight and softer under lamps.
In a room that gets little direct sun, this color's warmth does some of the work daylight would otherwise be doing. A good fit for bedrooms and nurseries, where softness matters more than intensity. If a second wall color is wanted in the same room, Behr Maui Mist keeps the jump obvious rather than muddy (roughly 341 LRV points from this one).
By the numbers, Sherwin-Williams Sundew (SW 7688) and this color are indistinguishable - delta-E 0.59, well under what the eye can separate. 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.
It is lighter than 66 percent of the Vista Paint range. Vista Paint lists it in the C codes, alongside 1,421 other colors.
