Valspar

Wheels Up

V117-2

Wheels Up is a medium soft gray with a faint blue-green cast. It feels easy and quiet. Use it in bedrooms, hallways, offices, or cabinetry when a neutral needs a little coolness.

The color pairs well with white trim, oak, and brushed metal. At LRV 45, it has visible body without becoming dark. Warm bulbs can soften the gray and make it more balanced.
