Valspar

Pond Frost

V117-1

Valspar Pond Frost is a light blue gray touched by a small green undertone. It can cool down a sunny bath or bedroom without feeling stark. The color stays soft.

Its light, comfortable value works well on full walls, especially with white trim and pale stone. In north light, the gray side will become more noticeable. Accent walls can shift it greener.
