Valspar

Palace Walls

8004-48D

Palace Walls reads as a muted violet-gray with a cool stone base. Its violet cast gives gray walls a quieter bedroom mood. This color suits a bedroom or hallway when ordinary gray feels too flat.

Clean trim makes the lavender note clearer. Warm brass pulls it softer. Because the color sits in the mid-deep range, dim rooms can make it look heavier and grayer than expected.

Palace Walls 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.
