Valspar

A Stitch in Time

8003-48B

A Stitch in Time is a pale periwinkle gray with a soft violet-blue cast. It reads tailored. The color can freshen a bedroom, sewing room, or bath without becoming a bright pastel.

Walls look cooler beside cream trim and calmer beside clean white. Use pale wood or linen to keep the room from feeling too crisp. In north light, sample carefully because the blue-violet side can strengthen.

A Stitch in Time 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.
