Vista Paint 0208Vista Paint 0208This is the kind of neutral that earns the word - a yellow cast present, but never loud about it. Vista Paint catalogs it as Umber Style, 0208.
Chroma 5.3 - faint on a chip, unmistakable across a wall. It holds up in a north-facing room, which is where warmth is usually missing.
Light reflectance measures 80.0, which is enough to keep a room bright without bouncing light around. It is the sort of color that goes on every wall of a house without feeling overwhelming.
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 10.3 points apart in light reflectance).
Benjamin Moore Dove Wing (OC-18) matches it closely enough that no one will tell them apart on a wall. 8 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.
