Vista Paint 0535 translated into the PPG line

Vista Paint Zen Retreat 0535 on a wall, hex #636463
PPG Knight's Armor 1001-6 on a wall, hex #5C5D5D

The closest PPG paint to Vista Paint Zen Retreat (0535) is Knight's Armor 1001-6, a delta-E of 2.92 away — the nearest PPG makes, and near enough for most rooms, but it is not an exact copy.

Knight's Armor is 2 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as true neutral against true neutral, at chroma 0.4 and 0.7.

Codes are not transferable between manufacturers and no brand publishes a conversion table, so every figure here is measured from the published hex values rather than taken from a chart.
