Pillow Talk

This is the kind of neutral that earns the word - a greige present, but never loud about it. Vista Paint catalogs it as Pillow Talk, 8700.

Chroma 4.9 is the whole difference: below four a color reads as grey, above ten the greige takes over. Warm bulbs make it warmer still; daylight bulbs cool it back toward neutral.

At this LRV (77.0), a room reads as neither bright-white nor dim - a genuinely middle-of-the-road amount of light comes back off the wall. A practical choice for rooms that will change decor over time, since a true neutral outlasts trends in furniture and textiles.

Dunn-Edwards Lighthouse makes a good second wall color here - different enough to read as a real choice, close enough to still feel related (about 13.3 points apart in light reflectance).

Behr Pastel China (700A-1) matches it closely enough that no one will tell them apart on a wall. 4 other-brand colors land within delta-E 2 of this one - a well-populated part of the spectrum with several near-equivalents to choose from. This color reads consistently across most finishes, so the choice can come down to durability needs rather than how it changes the color.

It is lighter than 83 percent of the Vista Paint range. Vista Paint lists it in the K codes, alongside 1,318 other colors.
