Valspar

Soft Silk

7004-2

Soft Silk is a very pale lavender-gray white. It feels cool and polished. Use it where a white wall needs a whisper of color, such as a bedroom, bath, or ceiling.

The violet note shows most beside cream trim and warm woods. In clean daylight, it may read as a soft cool neutral. Pair with bright white or brushed metal. Avoid yellowed cabinets unless the contrast is intentional.

Soft Silk 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.
