Vapor

A wash of yellow-green over a mostly-light base, which is a harder balance to hit than it sounds. Vapor is Vista Paint's 0407.

At LRV 55.0 it sits where most rooms want a wall: light enough to feel open, dark enough to have a surface. Chroma 17.6 sits in a comfortable middle: present enough to notice, restrained enough to live with.

A warm bulb is the easiest fix if this reads colder than expected once it is on the wall. A good fit for bedrooms and nurseries, where softness matters more than intensity. For a secondary wall, Dunn-Edwards Lighthouse gives a natural step up in brightness without feeling like a mismatch (roughly 35.3 LRV points apart).

By the numbers, PPG Sage Splendor (1115-4) and this color are indistinguishable - delta-E 0.62, well under what the eye can separate. A satin finish is worth it in a room that needs to be wiped down often, at the cost of showing a bit more of the wall's surface than a flat finish would.

It is lighter than 60 percent of the Vista Paint range. The name is not unique: Benjamin Moore AF-35 and Dunn-Edwards DE6358 also sell a color called Vapor, and it is not the same shade. Vista Paint lists it in the C codes, alongside 1,421 other colors.
