Light, but with enough yellow undertone to be a color rather than a white. In the Vista Paint lineup this is 8427.
LRV 66.0 - comfortably in the range that suits a whole room rather than one wall. At chroma 7.5 the yellow undertone is clear in daylight and softer under lamps.
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. If a second wall color is wanted in the same room, Dunn-Edwards Lighthouse keeps the jump obvious rather than muddy (roughly 24.3 LRV points from this one).
By the numbers, Farrow & Ball Shadow White (282) and this color are indistinguishable - delta-E 0.65, well under what the eye can separate. Matte or low-sheen suits it on walls; higher gloss will exaggerate the undertone.
It is lighter than 69 percent of the Vista Paint range. This is a crowded part of the scale - 861 colors measure within a point of 66.0 - so most brands will have something close. It is one of the quietest tans in the catalog, which is why it reads as a neutral on a large wall. Vista Paint lists it in the K codes, alongside 1,318 other colors.
