Valspar

Calm Cool and Collected

V140-1

Calm Cool and Collected is a pale gray with a faint green undertone. It lives up to the name. Bedrooms, halls, or open spaces benefit from it when white feels too bare.

Because it is very low chroma, nearby finishes will steer it. Warm wood pulls it softer. White tile cools it down. Sample against trim before buying gallons for open areas.
