Valspar

Barest Hush

V145-1

Barest Hush is warm gray-beige kept light by a soft green-yellow cast. It keeps things quiet. The color is useful in halls, bedrooms, and open rooms where a neutral needs warmth without obvious cream.

On walls, it can feel like muted linen. Let warm white trim support it, oak, or stone. Cool lighting may flatten it, so check the sample both during the day and after dark.
