Valspar

Ghost Story

V142-1

Ghost Story is a bright off-white with a slight warm-gray cast. The warm-gray cast works best when trim stays simple. Use it when walls need softness but not obvious cream.

It can support open living areas, bedrooms, or trim in a house with quiet finishes. Beside cool whites, it may look faintly ivory. Near warm woods, it reads cleaner. Sample on more than one wall, since very pale colors shift with shadows.

Ghost Story 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.
