Valspar

Wispy Skies

V112-1

The wall version of Wispy Skies is calmer when the room accepts its blue-tinted off-white side. It can carry inside a reading nook when the woodwork has visible grain. Strong daylight makes the undertone easier to see.

Keep oak cabinetry nearby and compare it with the counter material in place. Check it after dark. Let the wall dry overnight before deciding whether the color is too strong.

Wispy Skies 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.
