Valspar

Providence

8003-44F

Providence is a stormy blue gray that feels architectural. It is deep, but not blackened. Save it for a den, exterior shutters, or a bedroom with crisp bedding.

The color has enough green gray in it to work with stone and nickel. Since LRV 17 gives real depth, test a large board in the darkest corner before painting every wall.

Providence 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.
