Valspar

Hibernate

8004-41C

Hibernate is a muted blue-gray shade with a slightly smoky cast. It feels quiet and practical. Bedrooms, offices, and built-ins can carry it when true blue would feel too decorative.

On walls, it reads deeper than a pale gray but still livable. Cool daylight brings out the blue. Warm wood pulls it softer. Use a clean white trim, and sample beside gray flooring so the room does not become flat.

Hibernate 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.
