Valspar

Grand Entrance

V104-2

Grand Entrance is a light blue with a softened aqua-gray undertone. It feels open and polished. The color can work in an entry, bath, or bedroom where a pale blue should stay grown-up.

It is comfortably light, so it keeps the room bright. Brushed nickel keeps it polished. White trim keeps the blue clean. Warm floors can make the blue look clearer, which may be exactly the point.

Grand Entrance 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.
