Valspar

Periwinkle Dream

V073-2

A room that wants blue but not baby blue can use Valspar Periwinkle Dream. The shade mixes soft blue with a lavender gray undertone, giving it a cooler, dreamy cast. It stays comfortably light.

Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak floors, or navy fabric. In shaded rooms, sample carefully because the violet side can become more obvious. Banquette fabric can pull violet.
