Valspar

Kitty Whiskers

V119-1

Kitty Whiskers is a balanced warm gray with a faint taupe-beige cast. It behaves like a quiet neutral. Hallways, bedrooms, and open living areas benefit when cooler grays feel too hard.

On walls, it will pick up warmth from wood floors. White trim gives the wall a clean boundary. If the room has violet-gray upholstery, sample first because the beige side may become more obvious.

Kitty Whiskers 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.
