Valspar

Cold Snap

T621

Cold Snap is a medium-light gray-blue with a cool slate cast. It helps a bedroom, bath, or office feel composed without using a strong color. The shade is deep enough to show clearly against trim, but not so dark that it needs constant lamps.

Beige flooring may dull it. White tile and brushed metal keep it cleaner. In warm evening light, expect the gray side to soften the blue.

Cold Snap 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
