Valspar

Still Life in Gray

V120-2

Still Life in Gray is a medium neutral gray with a subtle warm base. The warm gray base keeps offices from turning too cool. This color can work in offices, bedrooms, or exterior accents when a lighter gray lacks presence.

In daylight, it stays fairly balanced. In low light, it gains a charcoal edge. Pair with white trim and natural oak. If nearby finishes are very cool, sample first so the wall does not look dingy.

Still Life in Gray 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.
