Valspar

Escape

4007-7B

Escape is a pale clean blue with a soft coastal lean. The pale blue body opens baths without looking bare. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, or laundry rooms where a hint of sky color adds freshness.

The high lightness keeps it friendly across larger walls. Warm wood and natural fiber rugs stop it from feeling chilly. If the trim is creamy, compare carefully because the blue may look stronger beside it.

Escape 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.
