Valspar

Misty Dreams

V100-3

Misty Dreams is a muted pale green-gray with a blue undertone. It stays restful. Bedrooms, baths, or a calm office suit it where stronger sage would feel too styled.

Across larger walls, it can move between gray-green and soft aqua depending on light. Warm wood helps it feel grounded. Brushed nickel keeps the cooler side clean. Cream trim may muddy the read.

Misty Dreams 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.
