Raindance

A quiet color: the yellow-green cast is there, but it is not announcing itself. Vista Paint's designation for it is 0474.

At 4.9 on the chroma scale, this is closer to grey than to color, though the yellow-green cast keeps it from being either. This is a color worth testing in the specific room it is going in - cool colors shift more than warm ones do between north and south walls.

LRV 71.0 - comfortably in the range that suits a whole room rather than one 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 pairs well as a second surface - close enough in feel to belong in the same room, far enough in lightness to read as two distinct walls (about 19.3 points apart on the reflectance scale).

Benjamin Moore Silver Crest (1583) matches it closely enough that no one will tell them apart on a wall. 7 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. Matte or low-sheen suits it on walls; higher gloss will exaggerate the undertone.

It is lighter than 77 percent of the Vista Paint range. The name is not unique: Behr QE-53 and Benjamin Moore CC-680 also sell a color called Raindance, and it is not the same shade. Vista Paint lists it in the C codes, alongside 1,421 other colors.
