Valspar

Dusty Lavender

1002-7C

Dusty Lavender is a muted mauve with a gray veil over it. The gray matters. It keeps the color from feeling sweet on bedroom walls or a painted vanity.

In low light, the mauve can move closer to taupe. Brighter daylight reveals more purple. Creamy white trim helps when softness is the goal. Pairing it with very cool gray can make the color look older than intended.

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.
