Valspar

Gauzy White

V152

Gauzy White is a very bright warm white with a faint cream-yellow cast. Its high reflectance helps dim hallways stay bright. Use it on walls when pure white feels too stark but a noticeable cream would be too much.

It suits sunlit kitchens, bedrooms, and trim in older homes. Beside cool gray tile, the warmth can show. Test it against existing cabinets, because old whites often reveal their undertone next to a fresh one.

Gauzy White 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.
