Valspar

Silver Dusk

4006-3A

Silver Dusk is pale gray-blue, cool and airy in a way that still shows color. The blue stays present. It can freshen a bathroom, laundry room, or ceiling without feeling sugary.

On larger walls, the gray base prevents the color from turning too pastel. Brushed nickel and clean white tile suit it well. If the room faces north, sample carefully because the color can become cooler and thinner in shaded light.

Silver Dusk 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
