Valspar

Counterpoint

V135-3

Counterpoint is a light greige with a beige backbone and a small gray veil. It sits in the middle range, so it needs real daylight to feel open. On main walls, it can bridge warm wood floors and cooler upholstery without looking stark.

Afternoon sun pulls tan forward. Choose a trim white with some warmth, since a blue white can push this color dusty. Check Counterpoint near the flooring, not just the trim.

Counterpoint 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.
