Valspar

Promise

4005-7C

Promise is a soft periwinkle blue with enough gray to avoid a nursery only feeling. It reads cool. In a bedroom, bath, or quiet office, it can make the space feel washed with daylight.

The mid value means it still shows as color on cloudy days. For Promise, Warm white trim plus light oak. Too much cool gray nearby can flatten the blue.
