Valspar

Mediterranean Dusk

M313

Mediterranean Dusk is a muted gray-green with a cool blue cast. The mood is misty. It can suit bathrooms, bedrooms, or cabinetry when the space needs color that still behaves like a neutral.

In north light, the blue-gray side may dominate. Warm bulbs bring back a little softness. Pale oak or brushed nickel suits it. Creamy yellow trim can muddy a clean green-gray.

Mediterranean Dusk 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.
