Valspar

Transparent

V143-1

Transparent is a bright, nearly white gray carrying a faint warm green cast. The nuance is subtle. It can suit trim, ceilings, and quiet walls when pure white feels too sharp.

In a room with lots of daylight, it stays clean without going blue. Pair it with warm stone or pale wood for a softer modern scheme. Next to creamy whites, though, it may look cooler and more gray.

Transparent 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.
