Valspar

Prudence

7004-13

Prudence is a near white gray with a faint blue green coolness. It looks clean. On trim, bath walls, or a small kitchen, it can feel fresh without shouting blue.

The bright value bounces light well, so it will show shadows and sheen changes. For Prudence, brushed nickel plus marble. Warm beige flooring may make the cool cast more obvious.
