A quiet color: the cool blue-gray is there, but it is not announcing itself. Vista Paint's designation for it is 0586.
Chroma 2.7 is the whole difference: below four a color reads as grey, above ten the cool blue-gray takes over. South light flatters it. In a north-facing room it can turn cold, so sample that wall first.
Light reflectance measures 76.0, which is enough to keep a room bright without bouncing light around. A safe whole-house choice when different rooms get different amounts of natural light, since neutrals shift the least across exposures.
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 14.3 points apart on the reflectance scale).
If the brand is not fixed, PPG Bright Star (1166-1) is the same color by measurement - delta-E 0. This is not a rare shade: 6 colors from other brands sit within delta-E 2 of it. Matte holds the color truest; a subtle sheen will lift it half a shade under lamps.
