Valspar

Sleepy Kitten

8006-11D

Sleepy Kitten is a medium gray with a warm, slightly taupe undertone. It has more body than expected. Use it in an office, guest room, or on cabinetry where a pale gray would feel thin.

The color can look flat without contrast, so include trim, hardware, or artwork with sharper edges. Warm bulbs make it friendlier. Cool daylight keeps it more stone-like.
