Vista Paint 0342Vista Paint 0342Soft rather than pale-to-invisible - the yellow undertone is faint but genuinely there. 0342 in the Vista Paint range.
LRV 63.0 - comfortably in the range that suits a whole room rather than one wall. Chroma 10.9 keeps the yellow undertone present without letting it run the room.
It holds up in a north-facing room, which is where warmth is usually missing. A dependable choice where a room gets good natural light and a pure white would feel sterile. 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 27.3 points apart on the reflectance scale).
By the numbers, Benjamin Moore Temporal Spirit (965) and this color are indistinguishable - delta-E 0.92, 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 66 percent of the Vista Paint range. Vista Paint lists it in the C codes, alongside 1,421 other colors.
