Valspar

Warm Breezes

V103-3

Warm Breezes is a muted blue green gray, softer than aqua and warmer than a typical blue gray. It feels breezy, not beach-themed. Baths, bedrooms, or laundry rooms can use it with pale counters and simple trim.

The green note becomes clearer beside warm whites. Light oak, nickel, or stone keep it easy. In dim rooms, the color may lean gray.

Warm Breezes 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.
