It reads as a neutral with a blue cast. In the Vista Paint lineup this is 0512.
A chroma of 5.8 is low enough to read as neutral in most light, but the blue cast still shifts what the eye calls it. Warm bulbs will soften it; daylight bulbs push it further cool.
LRV 33.0 - comfortably in the range that suits a whole room rather than one wall. Suits both quiet, restful rooms and busier shared spaces, which is most of what makes a neutral a neutral.
If a second wall color is wanted in the same room, PPG Coronation keeps the jump obvious rather than muddy (roughly 51 LRV points from this one).
Dunn-Edwards Canadian Lake (DE6340) runs close enough - delta-E 1.33 - that swapping brands should not change how the room looks. This is not a rare shade: 4 colors from other brands sit within delta-E 2 of it. 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.
