Valspar

Heather Bay

T572

Heather Bay is a muted mauve-gray with a taupe base. It feels quiet and grown-up. Bedrooms and dressing rooms can use it where beige would feel too plain.

Its mid value gives more presence than a tinted off-white. Cream trim will soften it. Bright white trim makes the mauve clearer. Dark wood furniture gives it needed depth.

Heather Bay 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.
