Valspar

Blue Cashmere

M339

Blue Cashmere is a medium slate gray with a muted blue undertone. It feels orderly. It can sit in an office, bedroom, or on cabinetry where a cool neutral needs more interest.

Once applied, it may read darker than expected in rooms without steady daylight. Choose warm white trim, linen, or natural oak. Blackened bronze sharpens the slate undertone. Creamy yellow lighting can push it grayer.

Blue Cashmere 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
