Valspar

Ashland Heights

V125-4

Ashland Heights is medium gray carrying a faint violet cast. The effect is restrained. It can work on office walls, interior doors, or built-ins where a straight gray feels too cold.

Its depth calls for good lighting, especially in hallways. Warm wood floors soften the purple edge. Clean white trim gives it structure. Compare it beside existing carpet, since some beiges can pull it lavender.
