Valspar

Sharkfin

4007-2A

Valspar Sharkfin is a medium gray plus a blue-green undertone. Standard pewter is plainer. Use it on bathroom vanities, built-ins, doors, or exterior trim where a cool gray feels appropriate.

In bright light, the blue-green note shows more. Crisp white, black fixtures, or light oak sharpen the color. Warm beige walls nearby can make Sharkfin look cooler, so test adjoining colors together.

Sharkfin 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.
