Valspar

Voyage

4006-1B

Voyage is a muted blue gray with a soft, weathered quality. It is quiet. Bedrooms, baths, or offices can use the hint of sky when plain gray feels flat.

At a mid value, it will show more color than a pale neutral but stay calm on full walls. White oak, linen, or brushed nickel suit it. Warm beige trim may make the blue side more noticeable.

Voyage 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.
