Valspar

Faded Indigo

V109-2

Faded Indigo is a light blue-gray with a washed denim cast. The washed denim cast suits rooms that need quiet color. Bedrooms, baths, or a home office can take it without turning bold.

Its comfortable lightness keeps walls open and calm. White trim and medium oak give it enough shape. Beige carpet may pull the gray side forward, so sample before committing to every wall. Test beside carpet.

Faded Indigo 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.
