Valspar

Crisp Collar

8003-42C

Crisp Collar is a pale blue-gray paint with a clean, airy cast. The blue is gentle. It can refresh a bedroom, laundry room, or small bath without feeling babyish.

In north light, the gray side gets stronger and the room may need warmer bulbs. White trim looks sharp here, especially with pale oak or chrome. View Crisp Collar from the adjoining room before committing.

Crisp Collar 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.
