Valspar

Pelican

4007-1A

Valspar Pelican is a light green gray with a cool, foggy cast. It is useful where white feels bare but color needs to stay quiet. The green barely whispers.

In a north facing room, it can look more gray and reserved. Use it with soft white trim, honed stone, or pale wood, and avoid creamy yellow finishes that fight the coolness.

Pelican 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.
