Valspar

Violetta

V073-4

Violetta is a medium periwinkle blue with a clear violet influence. The blue stays soft. Use it in a bedroom, bath, or creative office where gray feels too dull.

It can also work on a ceiling if the walls are warm white. The violet edge shows more beside beige carpet. Pair it with painted white furniture, pale oak, or brushed nickel for an easy, airy scheme.

Violetta 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.
