Valspar

Tinman

V114-2

Tinman is deep blue gray, closer to steel than warm charcoal. Practical and cool. Doors or cabinets belong where a dark neutral needs a cleaner edge than greige.

In a compact office, add lighter walls and reliable task lighting. Brushed nickel suits the steel note, and white oak will keep the palette from feeling too industrial. Test millwork in the final sheen.

Tinman 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.
