Spun Sugar

8004-41A

Spun Sugar is pale gray-blue, powdery and cool without much saturation. It feels clean and soft. Bedrooms, baths, or ceilings are natural fits when a quiet blue tint is more useful than white.

On walls, it shows more blue beside cream trim. White trim clarifies the powder-blue cast without making it icy. Pair with brushed nickel or pale wood. In rooms with little daylight, check that it does not turn too gray.

Spun Sugar 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.
