Valspar

Whisper Soft

8004-1B

Whisper Soft is a light gray with a faint mauve undertone. The mauve-gray undertone suits quiet rooms with soft white trim. Bedrooms, baths, or a quiet sitting room suit it when plain gray would feel too cold.

Enough warmth is present for soft white trim and pale wood. In north-facing light, the mauve can become more visible. Linen, brushed nickel, or mushroom upholstery work better than strong yellow beige.

Whisper Soft 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.
