Valspar

Evening Eclipse

4007-3C

Evening Eclipse is a stormy medium-deep blue-gray. Good lighting matters here. Office walls, cabinetry, or a bedroom can use it as a stronger answer to pale gray.

The blue shows most beside warm whites. In dim rooms, it may settle into charcoal-gray. Pale oak or brushed steel keeps the palette crisp without making the color feel cold. Test a full board.

Evening Eclipse 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.
