Valspar

Cathedral Morning

V128-3

Cathedral Morning is a muted rosy greige with a soft taupe base. It is more complex than a simple beige. The color can warm a bedroom or sitting room without leaning peachy in every light.

Cool daylight brings out the gray side, which helps it stay calm near linen and weathered wood. Warm bulbs reveal the pinker cast. Test beside carpet, especially if the carpet already has mauve or pink-beige undertones.

Cathedral Morning 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.
