Valspar

Sea Urchin

V001-1

Valspar Sea Urchin is a very pale lavender-gray with a soft pink cast. The color is delicate. Bedroom walls can take it, dressing rooms, and baths where white feels too plain but color should stay quiet.

Cool daylight brings forward the violet note. Warm lamps make it more powdery. Warm white trim, silver metal, or pale oak suit the softness. Avoid beige yellows nearby if a clean lavender effect matters.

Sea Urchin 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.
