Vista Paint 8556Vista Paint 8556A pale yellow undertone that still counts as a color on the wall. Vista Paint's designation for it is 8556.
73.0 on the light-reflectance scale puts it in the middle third, which is the part of the scale with the fewest surprises. Chroma 9.6 keeps the yellow undertone present without letting it run the room.
Warm bulbs make it warmer still; daylight bulbs cool it back toward neutral. Holds up across a full room without the visual weight a darker or more saturated color would add.
