Valspar

Aerodynamic

8006-10A

Aerodynamic is a pale neutral gray with the faintest green-blue cast. Pale green-gray suits cooler counters. The color can serve as a wall neutral in offices, halls, or kitchens with cooler finishes.

It will not add much warmth, so bring that through wood, textiles, or lighting. Against bright white trim, the gray shows clearly. Near cream trim, it may look cooler. Northern exposure can flatten it, so test before committing.

Aerodynamic 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.
