Vista Paint Orchard Plum 8198 on a wall, hex #886E7F
Valspar Plum Legacy 1002-7B on a wall, hex #8B717F

The closest Valspar paint to Vista Paint Orchard Plum (8198) is Plum Legacy 1002-7B, a delta-E of 2.07 away — the nearest Valspar makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.

Plum Legacy is 1.8 LRV points lighter, so the room will read slightly brighter. Undertone reads as purple undertone against purple, at chroma 13.3 and 14.4.

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.
