Thunderstorm

Filed as neutral, carried by a blue cast that shows more in a large room than on a small chip. Vista Paint lists it as Thunderstorm (0514).

At chroma 5.3 the blue cast shows up against a neutral background and disappears against anything with stronger colour. 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 13.0 - comfortably in the range that suits a whole room rather than one wall. Works as a backdrop for artwork, furniture, or anything else in the room that is meant to stand out more than the walls do.

If a second wall color is wanted in the same room, Kilz Postcard keeps the jump obvious rather than muddy (roughly 33 LRV points from this one).

For anyone tied to a different brand, Benjamin Moore Anchor Gray (2126-30) is the nearest stand-in, at a delta-E of 1.48. 3 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. This color reads consistently across most finishes, so the choice can come down to durability needs rather than how it changes the color.

It is lighter than 10 percent of the Vista Paint range. Vista Paint lists it in the C codes, alongside 1,421 other colors.
