Valspar

Safe Haven

V037-2

Valspar Safe Haven is a softened periwinkle blue with a lavender cast. The purple undertone is visible. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, and quiet offices that need color without strong saturation.

In cool daylight, it can read more blue-gray. Warm lamps bring out the violet side. Warm white trim, pale maple, or brushed nickel fit the softness. Avoid yellow beige fabrics nearby; they can cool the wall down.

Safe Haven 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.
