Valspar

Will o' the Wisp

8001-48B

The violet-blue cast leads. Will o' the Wisp comes across as pale periwinkle, not a plain off-white. Try it in a guest room or on a ceiling where a barely whimsical blue is welcome.

Creamy trim can make the violet side clearer, so compare whites carefully. A sample near fabric matters here, especially if the room uses cool gray or silver.
