Valspar

Pearl Gray

8004-37E

Valspar Pearl Gray is a blue green gray with a soft, muted surface. Not warm greige. In a bath with white tile, it can look clean without feeling sterile.

The mid value gives enough contrast for trim and doors. Pair it with chrome, pale maple, or charcoal accents, and sample near any beige surfaces. Compare it with bookcases. Compare it against the tile grout.
