Valspar

Favorite Sweater

P028

Favorite Sweater is a soft blue-green with a muted, cozy quality. The muted blue-green body stays calm across larger walls. Bedrooms, baths, or craft rooms can take the color without turning loud.

Its mid-light value gives noticeable color but still keeps walls open. White trim or honey-toned wood sits naturally beside it. Warm lamps make it calmer at night. A cool gray sofa may pull it bluer.

Favorite Sweater 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.
