Valspar

Soul Sister

8003-48C

Soul Sister is a muted periwinkle-gray with a lavender-blue cast. It feels soft but noticeable. Bedrooms, creative offices, or painted furniture can take it when a standard gray feels too plain.

On walls, it gets cooler beside warm beige and cleaner beside white trim. Pair with pale maple or brushed nickel. Warm lamps can pull it slightly violet, so judge the sample after sunset.

Soul Sister 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.
