Valspar

Grand Prix

8003-38F

Grand Prix is a dark teal-gray with a muted green base. It feels controlled. Use it on cabinetry, an accent wall, or exterior shutters when the design needs depth without black.

LRV 11 puts it firmly in dark territory. Pale counters help. Use a warm white at trim and ceiling lines. In flat paint, the color may lose dimension, so consider satin on woodwork and doors.

Grand Prix 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.
