Valspar

Highland Winds

8004-45A

Highland Winds brings bright pale gray-blue with a cool airy cast. The pale blue-lavender cast gives narrow halls a cool lift without much depth. The color can open a bedroom, hallway, or bath without becoming stark white.

Its blue note shows most beside cream trim. Clean white makes it crisp and slightly cooler. Because it is bright, it can bounce light well in narrow spaces. Test under evening bulbs if the room already has cool flooring.
