Valspar

Chilean Sea Bass

V142-2

Chilean Sea Bass is a light gray neutral with a faint green-beige undertone. The name is playful, but the color is restrained. It can work through hallways, offices, or open rooms where a pure gray would feel too cool.

The undertone helps it sit with natural stone and warm woods. Test it near trim. Blue-white paint can pull the green side forward. Cream trim makes it softer and more neutral.

Chilean Sea Bass 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.
