Valspar

Harp Strings

V115-1

Harp Strings is a bright, soft gray with a faint blue-green coolness. The cool blue-green hint makes it useful beside gray tile and nickel fixtures. Use it where white is too stark but beige would clash, such as a bath with cool tile or a hallway with gray flooring.

The color will not bring much drama. That is the point. Warm trim can make it look slightly cooler by comparison. Test beside existing doors before using it as a whole-house neutral.
