Valspar

City of Lights

V110-2

City Of Lights is a pale gray-blue with a clean, cool cast. It can brighten a bedroom, bath, or hallway without becoming a saturated blue. The color looks freshest near white tile, nickel, and light gray stone.

In a room with cream trim, it may read bluer by contrast. That contrast can be pretty or awkward. Check the sample both near the window and in the dimmest corner.

City of Lights 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.
