Valspar

Snowflake

V160

Snowflake is a bright, cool white with a faint green-blue cast. The cool white base suits spaces with blue-gray counters or tile. The color suits trim, ceilings, or walls in spaces with clean counters and cooler tile.

Because it reflects a lot of light, imperfections may show more in glossier sheens. Warm woods will make the cool undertone easier to notice. If nearby cabinets are cream, sample carefully so the contrast does not look accidental.

Snowflake 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.
