Valspar

Slipstream

8001-45A

Slipstream is a pale blue with a lavender-gray cast. It feels cool and lifted. The color can freshen ceilings, baths, or bedrooms that get good daylight.

In lower light, the gray side keeps it from feeling too sweet. Pair it with crisp white trim, brushed nickel, or pale maple. Creamy finishes may make the blue look slightly purple, so compare the sample directly against tile and cabinetry.

Slipstream 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.
