Poodle Pink

A wash of purple over a mostly-light base, which is a harder balance to hit than it sounds. Poodle Pink is Vista Paint's 1176.

LRV 68.0 - comfortably in the range that suits a whole room rather than one wall. Chroma 16.4 sits in a comfortable middle: present enough to notice, restrained enough to live with.

The purple is more noticeable under cool, daylight-balanced bulbs than under standard warm ones, which tend to mute it. Light enough for whole-room coverage while still reading as a real color choice rather than a white. For a secondary wall, Benjamin Moore Snow White gives a natural step up in brightness without feeling like a mismatch (roughly 19.5 LRV points apart).

Switching brands, Benjamin Moore Passion Pink (2075-60) is the closest equivalent at delta-E 1.04, near enough for most rooms. Eggshell is a common middle ground here - enough durability for a lived-in room without the sheen that would draw attention to wall imperfections.

It is lighter than 73 percent of the Vista Paint range. This is a crowded part of the scale - 406 colors measure within a point of 68.0 - so most brands will have something close. Vista Paint lists it in the C codes, alongside 1,421 other colors.
