Valspar

On Butterfly Wings

8001-46A

On Butterfly Wings is a very light blue-lavender with a cool gray base. The lavender tint is safest on ceilings or low-contrast bedrooms. This shade can soften a bedroom ceiling or bath where plain white feels harsh.

White trim keeps it clean. Pale wood warms it without fighting the color. Northern light makes the blue side can sharpen, so sample beside bedding and tile before covering a large area.
