Valspar

Lark Wing

M308

Lark Wing is a pale mineral blue with a cool gray cast. It feels clean and restrained. This color can work in baths, bedrooms, or small offices where gray should have a little air.

White trim will keep it crisp. Warm wood floors prevent it from feeling sterile. In north light, the blue may become more apparent, so test it on more than one wall.
