Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchVista Paint AC126 translated into the Dunn-Edwards line
The closest Dunn-Edwards paint to Vista Paint Merlot Magic (AC126) is Merlot DE5055, a delta-E of 3.29 away — the nearest Dunn-Edwards makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.
Merlot is 1.5 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as pink against pink, at chroma 39.9 and 39.5.
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.
