Valspar

Serenity

4005-7B

Valspar Serenity is a pale blue with a clean gray undertone. It lands open. The color suits bedrooms, baths, ceilings, and laundry rooms, especially around white tile, pale wood.

It has enough color to show on full walls without feeling heavy. Warm white trim, brushed nickel, or navy accents keep it classic. In north-facing rooms, it may read cooler and more silvery.

Serenity 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.
