Valspar

Brush Stroke

8003-46C

Brush Stroke is a muted blue with a gray-lavender undertone. Its lavender-gray base softens the blue for bedrooms. Bedrooms, offices, or built-ins can use it where a crisp blue would feel too cool.

Its middle value gives enough presence without becoming navy. Pale oak and a warm trim white keep it approachable. In shaded rooms, it may lean more gray, so test beside fabrics and flooring.
