Valspar

Tempered Gray

4004-1A

Valspar Tempered Gray is a light warm gray with a beige stone cast. It behaves softly. Living rooms, bedrooms, or halls suit it where a cooler gray would feel thin.

The comfortably light range keeps it practical for larger spaces. Warm white casing, oak floors, or black accents can define the room. Check it next to counters, because fixed whites can shift it warmer.

Tempered 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.

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.
