Valspar

Shark Loop

4007-3B

Valspar Shark Loop is a light mineral gray, lifted by a blue undertone. It feels crisp without being icy. The color works well in bathrooms, bedrooms, and offices, especially next to white tile or polished nickel.

On cabinets, it offers more personality than plain gray. Warm white trim, pale wood, or charcoal accents keep it crisp. In shaded rooms, it may settle into a cooler gray.
