Valspar

Polished Silver

4008-1B

Valspar Polished Silver is a medium light gray with the faintest green cast. Not a blue silver. Use it in an office, bath, or hallway where a neutral gray needs a little softness.

The depth is mid range. White trim supports black hardware or pale wood, and test near beige tile before committing. Painted doors should stay crisp. Beige tile can warm it.

Polished Silver 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.
