Valspar

Super Nova

4004-9A

Valspar Super Nova is a pale periwinkle gray, light enough to feel airy but still cooler than white. The blue violet note matters. It can soften a bedroom, bath, or ceiling when beige feels wrong.

North light may sharpen the coolness. Use it with clean white trim, brushed nickel, and fabrics that repeat a little blue so the color feels connected.

Super Nova 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.
