Valspar

Soft Wool

V155

Soft Wool is a bright warm white with a creamy beige undertone. It feels clean without glare. Use it for walls or trim when stark white would fight warm floors.

The color can help older millwork feel intentional, especially beside linen and pale oak. In very cool rooms, it may read less fresh than expected. Compare it with existing ceiling paint before using it on trim.

Soft Wool 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.
