Valspar

Gotham City

V117-3

Gotham City is a deep cool gray with a restrained blue-green cast. It feels urban and restrained. Use it on doors, cabinets, or a media room wall when charcoal would be too heavy.

LRV 18 keeps it deep, so strong trim contrast matters. Pair with crisp white or light oak. Low light can flatten it toward industrial gray, so add texture and lamps.

Gotham City 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.
