Spring Sprig

Pale enough to open a room, with a pink undertone strong enough to still read as a deliberate choice. Vista Paint catalogs it as Spring Sprig, 8706.

LRV 63.0 - comfortably in the range that suits a whole room rather than one wall. A chroma of 10.1 is enough to register as a real color choice, without the intensity that would force the rest of a room to match it.

The pink undertone is more noticeable under cool, daylight-balanced bulbs than under standard warm ones, which tend to mute it. Works well in rooms that need brightness but where a plain white feels too cold or too clinical. Dunn-Edwards Lighthouse makes a good second wall color here - different enough to read as a real choice, close enough to still feel related (about 27.3 points apart in light reflectance).

For anyone tied to a different brand, Dunn-Edwards Short and Sweet (DE6023) is the nearest stand-in, at a delta-E of 1.3. Matte or low-sheen suits it on walls; higher gloss will exaggerate the undertone.

It is lighter than 66 percent of the Vista Paint range. The name is not unique: Behr BIC-25 also sells a color called Spring Sprig, and it is not the same shade. Vista Paint lists it in the K codes, alongside 1,318 other colors.
