Valspar

Shell White

7007-12

Valspar Shell White is a warm white with a gentle cream-beige undertone. It feels soft and livable. Use it for walls, trim, ceilings, or cabinets when a bright white looks too stark.

oak, stone, and muted greens make useful companions. In shaded rooms, it can read more ivory. Compare it beside fixed whites, especially appliances and vinyl windows, before choosing it for trim.

Shell White 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.
