Valspar

Elevation

8004-39B

Elevation is a pale misty blue with a clean gray finish. It suits calm rooms. A bath, laundry area, or bedroom with decent daylight can keep the blue visible.

The gray base prevents a nursery effect. White tile and brushed nickel work naturally. If the space has beige carpet, sample on a full board because the contrast may make the wall color feel cooler.

Elevation 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.

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.
