Valspar

Heron Wing

T682

Heron Wing has a medium-light blue-gray body and a weathered coastal cast. The weathered blue-gray cast pairs naturally with driftwood floors and brushed nickel. Bedrooms and offices suit it where gray needs a little life.

The blue becomes more obvious beside cream trim and tan floors. White trim keeps it cleaner. Because the color has real body, it will not disappear in bright daylight. Pair with driftwood tones or brushed nickel, then keep heavy yellow accents away.

Heron Wing 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.
