Valspar

Midsummer Twilight

4001-3C

Midsummer Twilight is a pale mauve-gray with a cool lavender cast. It is delicate but not colorless. The shade can soften bedrooms, closets, or a vanity area when a regular gray feels cold.

Warm lamps pull it toward pink-gray. Cool daylight makes the lavender clearer. Use off-white trim for a gentler edge. Dark wood or black accents keep the room from drifting too pastel.

Midsummer Twilight 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.
