Vista Paint 1256 translated into the Dunn-Edwards line
The closest Dunn-Edwards paint to Vista Paint Plum Preserve (1256) is Smashed Grape DE5963, a delta-E of 5.97 away — the closest Dunn-Edwards has, and far enough away that you should sample it before committing.
Smashed Grape is 0.6 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as violet against violet, at chroma 26.5 and 31.8.
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.
