Valspar

House of Owen

8003-47D

House of Owen is a medium smoky blue with a violet-gray undertone. The effect is composed. Bedrooms and studies suit it when navy feels too dark.

On walls, the purple side becomes clearer beside warm beige. Crisp trim keeps it tailored. Natural wood makes it softer. Because the value is mid-deep, use good lighting if the room has few windows.
