Valspar

Permafrost

V159

Valspar Permafrost is a luminous warm gray white, not a sharp arctic white. The beige note saves it. Use it on walls in bedrooms or hallways where plain white feels unfinished.

It reflects light well, but nearby cool whites may make it look creamier. Pair with soft black hardware, natural linen, and warm stone for a quiet scheme. Recheck it with nightstands.

Permafrost 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
