Moss Island

A pale yellow undertone that still counts as a color on the wall. Vista Paint's designation for it is 0357.

At this LRV (72.0), a room reads as neither bright-white nor dim - a genuinely middle-of-the-road amount of light comes back off the wall. Chroma 7.8 keeps the yellow undertone present without letting it run the room.

The yellow undertone is more noticeable under cool, daylight-balanced bulbs than under standard warm ones, which tend to mute it. Light enough for whole-room coverage while still reading as a real color choice rather than a white. Dunn-Edwards Lighthouse 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 18.3 points apart on the reflectance scale).

Benjamin Moore Morning Dew (OC-140) matches it closely enough that no one will tell them apart on a wall. 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 77 percent of the Vista Paint range. It is one of the quietest yellows in the catalog, which is why it reads as a neutral on a large wall. Vista Paint lists it in the C codes, alongside 1,421 other colors.
