Valspar

Sheer Elegance

8004-34A

Valspar Sheer Elegance is a pale green-gray plus a soft, misty cast. The misty green-gray cast gives kitchens a fresher white alternative. The color suits bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and ceilings where white needs a hint of color.

Choose warm white trim, marble, or light oak around it. In low light, it may read closer to silver gray. If nearby tile has a green undertone, sample a larger board to make sure the match feels intentional.

Sheer Elegance 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.
