Valspar

Slow Down

V141-1

Slow Down is a bright green-gray white with a softened, misty quality. The faint green cast is easiest to control beside modern tile. Use it where a white wall needs a little movement, especially near white tile, light counters, or pale wood.

The green note appears more clearly beside cream trim. In strong light, it can look nearly white. Because it is so light, wall texture and sheen will show, so sample in the intended finish.

Slow Down 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.
