Valspar

Lime Washed

M312

Lime Washed is a warm off-white with a muted yellow-beige cast. The warmth feels aged. Hallways, bedrooms, or older homes benefit where bright white looks too new.

The shade sits naturally with oak, limestone, and woven shades. In cool light, it may look more neutral. Off-white trim gives a soft layered result. Compare it beside appliances if used in a kitchen.

Lime Washed 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
