Valspar

Swiss Livery

M204

Valspar Swiss Livery is a light greige with a muted straw undertone. It is warm, but restrained. This shade can carry an open hallway, office, or living room when a plain gray feels too cool.

Its value gives trim soft contrast without closing in the room. Oak floors, black picture frames, or warm stone make sense, but fixed whites need comparison.

Swiss Livery 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.
