Valspar

Fairies in America

P111

Fairies in America is a light periwinkle blue with a gentle violet cast. It feels playful but controlled. A bedroom, craft room, or ceiling detail can hold it where a cool tint belongs.

Its body shows clearly beside white trim. Warm wood balances the blue-violet. Beige flooring can mute it, so check the sample against the actual carpet and nearby fabrics.

Fairies in America in Different Light
