Valspar

Shady Lady

V137-1

Valspar Shady Lady is a pale cool gray with clean blue-green cast. The blue shows softly. It suits bedrooms, baths, laundry rooms, and ceilings where a white surface needs more mood.

Warm white trim, chrome, or natural linen support the cool softness. In low northern light, the gray side can dominate. Add warm wood or woven texture if the room starts to feel too cool.

Shady Lady 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.
