Valspar

Sheer Light

7004-16

Valspar Sheer Light is a very pale gray with a faint green undertone. It feels barely tinted. Use it on walls, ceilings, or trim when white feels too plain but color needs to stay quiet.

Use warm wood, soft black, or brushed nickel to steady the palette. In cool rooms, the gray side becomes more obvious. Skip creamy yellow whites if a crisp neutral look matters.

Sheer Light 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.
