Valspar

Shhh

V105-2

Valspar Shhh is a pale watery blue with a quiet gray undertone. This feels hushed. Bedrooms, baths, ceilings, and laundry rooms gain a soft cool backdrop.

Warm white trim, polished nickel, or pale oak keep it gentle. In cool northern light, it can become more gray. Add natural texture if the room needs warmth, especially through linen shades or light wood.

Shhh 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.
