Pink Explosion

Saturated enough that everything else in the room answers to it. Vista Paint files it as 1108.

Chroma 50.9 is high enough to dominate a room's palette rather than join it. On one wall of an otherwise neutral room, this reads as a deliberate choice rather than an overwhelming one.

The pink leans into warm light rather than fighting it, so this is a forgiving choice under standard incandescent or warm-LED bulbs. LRV 33.0 puts it in the middle of the scale, but saturation, not lightness, is what you will react to.

This is one of the colors that can change identity with the light - somewhere between red and pink, and near enough to the line between them (2°) that both readings are fair. Worth checking before committing to a full wall: greens nearby - in a floor, a rug, a piece of furniture - will read as a clash here, not a complement, since the two colors sit at opposite ends of the spectrum.

The lighter the trim beside this, the more it will seem to glow - a side effect of the light-reflectance gap rather than anything special about the trim color. The safest multi-color scheme moves from this dark wall to a noticeably lighter secondary tone, then to a near-white ceiling - three genuinely different depths rather than three shades of the same idea (LRV 33.0, 59 and 85, if you're matching by the numbers).

For a secondary wall, Dunn-Edwards Melting Glacier gives a natural step up in brightness without feeling like a mismatch (roughly 58.7 LRV points apart). If the wall needs to be washable, eggshell is the highest sheen worth considering before the color starts looking artificial under light.

No other brand has a color within delta-E 2 of this one - a genuinely uncommon shade.

It is lighter than 32 percent of the Vista Paint range. Among reds it is one of the strongest: only 5 percent of them carry more colour. Vista Paint lists it in the C codes, alongside 1,421 other colors.
