Valspar

Stillness

7005-2

Stillness is a bright pale aqua-white with a fresh blue-green tint. It feels serene. Use it for baths, ceilings, laundry rooms, or sunrooms where lightness matters.

On broad walls, the color becomes more visible than the sample might suggest. White trim keeps it airy. Warm woods stop it from feeling sterile. Cream tile can mute the aqua, so compare it near grout and counters.

Stillness 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.
