Vista Paint 1256 translated into the Sherwin-Williams line
The closest Sherwin-Williams paint to Vista Paint Plum Preserve (1256) is Forget‐Me‐Not SW 6824, a delta-E of 6.74 away — the closest Sherwin-Williams has, and far enough away that you should sample it before committing.
Forget‐Me‐Not is 5.2 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as violet against violet, at chroma 28.1 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.
