Valspar

Four Wheel Gray

V119-2

Four Wheel Gray is a mid gray with a warm, slightly khaki undertone. It is darker than the chip may imply. Since its LRV rounds to 27, it needs better lighting than a typical whole-house gray.

Use it for a media room or office where a steady backdrop matters. An exterior accent is a safer large-scale use. Cool white trim will sharpen it. Tan carpet can make the warmth more obvious.

Four Wheel Gray 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.
