Vista Paint 0514 translated into the Sherwin-Williams line
The closest Sherwin-Williams paint to Vista Paint Thunderstorm (0514) is Outerspace SW 6251, a delta-E of 1.73 away — close enough to swap without anyone noticing, though a large sample in daylight will show the difference.
Outerspace is 1.4 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as blue cast against blue cast, at chroma 5.5 and 5.3.
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.
