Valspar

Annabelle

8004-38B

Annabelle is a light silvery blue with a calm gray cast. Blue stays gentle. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, or offices where a soft cool neutral makes sense.

On a full wall, it shows more blue beside warm wood and more gray beside white tile. Pair with clean trim and brushed nickel. Cream cabinets need a sample first, since they can make Annabelle look cooler.

Annabelle 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.
