Valspar

Skyscraper

8004-34E

Skyscraper is a medium-deep green-gray with a slate cast. It feels urban and steady. The value gives it more presence than many soft grays, so it can handle cabinets, exterior trim, or an office wall.

In low light, the color may read closer to charcoal. Use clean contrast at the ceiling line. Pale oak, concrete, or black hardware all work, but sample beside beige carpet before covering a large room.

Skyscraper 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.
