Valspar

Misty Harbor

V137-2

Misty Harbor is a cool mist blue with light gray underneath. The cool gray-blue base works especially well beside white tile. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, or laundry rooms where white needs a little depth.

The color is light enough for whole walls, but it can feel cooler in north exposure. Warm bulbs soften the gray side at night. White trim and pale oak suit it. Beige tile may pull attention to the blue.

Misty Harbor 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.
