Valspar

Gin Berry

V101-4

Gin Berry is a muted blue-green gray with a low sea-glass quality. It reads calm. The color works well in bedrooms, baths, or built-ins when blue feels too obvious and gray feels too plain.

Its mid depth gives walls presence. Pair with pale oak or off-white trim. Very warm bulbs can dull the green side, so check it at night before using it in a main room.

Gin Berry 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.
