A pale yellow that still counts as a color on the wall. Vista Paint's designation for it is 0875.
At this LRV (74.0), a room reads as neither bright-white nor dim - a genuinely middle-of-the-road amount of light comes back off the wall. Chroma 19.6 keeps the yellow present without letting it run the room.
The yellow leans into warm light rather than fighting it, so this is a forgiving choice under standard incandescent or warm-LED bulbs. A dependable choice where a room gets good natural light and a pure white would feel sterile. 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 15.6 points apart on the reflectance scale).
By the numbers, Behr Taj Mahal (M300-2) and this color are indistinguishable - delta-E 0.58, 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.
