Valspar

A Month of Sundays

8004-47C

A Month of Sundays is a soft gray-blue with a lavender shadow. The color feels unhurried. A bedroom, office, or reading nook can take it when the walls should feel calm but not beige.

On larger surfaces, the cool undertone becomes clearer near warm wood. Clean white trim and charcoal accents suit it. For rooms with little daylight, add warm lamps to keep the gray from looking sleepy.

A Month of Sundays in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
