Valspar

Gray Lavender

4005-4A

Gray Lavender is a deep slate blue with a muted lavender undertone. It feels cool and tailored. Use it on bedroom walls, built-ins, or an office when navy feels too strong.

The depth needs pale trim and enough lighting. Pair with warm wood or cream textiles. In evening light, the lavender side may soften the blue. A large sample matters here.

Gray Lavender 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.
