Valspar

Glacier Mist

4005-3B

Glacier Mist comes across as light blue gray that has a cool mineral cast. Its mineral blue cast suits tile and chrome. Use it in bathrooms, offices, or bedrooms where gray should lean fresh instead of warm.

White trim brings the blue forward. Light maple keeps it from feeling icy. In evening lamp light, the color can soften toward gray. Test near fixed tile, especially if the tile already has a blue undertone.

Glacier Mist 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.
