Valspar

Easy on the Eyes

8003-45A

Easy on the Eyes is a pale blue with a gentle gray base. It stays polished. Bedrooms, laundry rooms, and baths with white tile suit it when a plain neutral feels too empty.

The color is comfortably light, so it can cover more wall area than stronger blues. Warm bulbs soften it at night. Brushed nickel and pale maple keep the finish clean.

Easy on the Eyes 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.
