Valspar

Silver Leaf

4006-1A

Silver Leaf is a balanced light gray with a cool, slightly blue-green edge. Quiet, but not blank. It works best where the fixed finishes already lean clean, such as white tile, chrome, or gray stone.

In rooms with lots of warm wood, the coolness becomes more visible. Use it for hallways or bedrooms that need a steady neutral. Cream trim may muddy the color, so compare whites carefully.

Silver Leaf 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.
