Valspar

Cottage Door

V138-4

Cottage Door sits between weathered blue and gray, with a muted teal side that shows on larger walls. Cottage Door feels practical. Cottage Door works on mudroom cabinetry, porch ceilings, or a bathroom vanity with brushed nickel.

Too much yellow light can push it murky. A crisp white nearby helps the blue portion stay clean. Sample Cottage Door beside the fixed finishes before ordering paint.

Cottage Door 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.
