Valspar

Windswept Clouds

8003-39D

This is not stark. The strongest cue in Windswept Clouds is blue-green coolness; that keeps the color from acting like plain blue. It feels most natural inside built-ins, especially with a simple finish nearby.

Near warm wood, it usually feels more settled. Use natural sisal for balance and compare it with the counter material in place. Let the largest fixed surface in the room guide the pairing choice.

Windswept Clouds 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.
