Trisha's Eyes

Mid-range in both light and color, which is the most forgiving place to be. 0666 in the Vista Paint range.

At LRV 46.0 it sits where most rooms want a wall: light enough to feel open, dark enough to have a surface. Chroma 14.4 keeps the teal present without letting it run the room.

Bedrooms and living rooms, where it is seen in lamplight as much as daylight. A warm bulb is the easiest fix if this reads colder than expected once it is on the wall. 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 44.3 points apart on the reflectance scale).

Worth checking before committing to a full wall: reds and brick tones nearby - in a floor, a rug, a piece of furniture - will read as a clash here, not a complement, since the two colors sit at opposite ends of the spectrum.

The lighter the trim beside this, the more it will seem to glow - a side effect of the light-reflectance gap rather than anything special about the trim color. The safest multi-color scheme moves from this dark wall to a noticeably lighter secondary tone, then to a near-white ceiling - three genuinely different depths rather than three shades of the same idea (LRV 46.0, 66 and 85, if you're matching by the numbers).

For anyone tied to a different brand, Behr Tahoe Blue (PPU13-09) is the nearest stand-in, at a delta-E of 1.39. Only 2 other-brand colors land within delta-E 2 of this one, which makes it comparatively unusual. 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 48 percent of the Vista Paint range. Vista Paint lists it in the C codes, alongside 1,421 other colors.
