Valspar

Paris Gray

M329

A bedroom painted Valspar Paris Gray will feel like soft blue gray rather than true gray. The blue undertone is clear, and it becomes more noticeable beside beige carpet. Keep the ceiling clean white.

This mid value shade works best with layered lamps, pale wood, and white bedding. In very shaded rooms, it can look a little stormier than expected.

Paris Gray 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.
