Valspar

State of Mind

V130-4

State of Mind is a medium taupe-gray with a warm, stony undertone. The warm stone undertone keeps this taupe-gray from feeling cold. The color can suit offices, bedrooms, or cabinetry when a standard greige feels too light.

On walls, it has enough depth to read intentional. In shade, it leans more brown-gray. Pair with warm white trim or black metal. If the room has pink-beige tile, sample carefully before using it everywhere.
