Each room page shows white picks from every US brand side by side, so you can compare in context.






Bright whites like Ultra White (7006-24) and Halogen (8007-11A) work hard in kitchens, bathrooms, and small or dark rooms where you want to push light around. They also make a clean choice for trim and ceilings when you want crisp edges.
Warmer, mid-LRV whites like Nankeen (8003-20A) at 80 or Jasmine Rice (T667) at 78.2 are better for living rooms, bedrooms, and open spaces that get a lot of sun. They keep big walls from feeling glary and give the room a settled, lived-in feel.

Hex values are display approximations from Valspar's published swatch tools, not a physical sample under controlled lighting. Order a brand-direct sample before specifying.

Valspar is mixed to order. The store starts with a base and tints it to the exact color you pick, so a white like Halogen (8007-11A) is made fresh at the counter rather than pulled off a shelf. You will find Valspar at Lowe's and Ace Hardware, in the Ultra, Signature (with ScuffShield), and Reserve (anti-microbial) lines.
Because every paint counter mixes to a formula, you can carry a white across brands. Any of these Valspar whites can be color-matched at a store that mixes another brand, and the same works in reverse from Sherwin-Williams, Behr, or the featured Kompozit deck. Bring the name and code, ask the counter to match it, and the only thing that changes is the base paint and finish, not the color you fell in love with.

LRV (light reflectance value) tells you how much light a color bounces back. In this white slice the range runs from 69.2 at the deepest to 93.6 at the brightest, so even the "darkest" whites here are still genuinely light. The higher the number, the brighter and more reflective the wall.
For a clean, gallery-bright look, reach for the top of the range like Ultra White (7006-24) at 93.6. For something softer that hides scuffs and feels warmer, drop into the 76 to 85 zone with options like Constellation (T649) at 85, Evening Sun (3004-6C) at 81, or Slow Down (V141-1) at 76.8. The lower you go, the more the white starts behaving like a pale, gentle neutral.
Valspar is known for warm, livable neutrals, and that personality shows up clearly in its white family. These are not stark, icy whites. Most of them carry a soft, easygoing undertone that reads as comfortable rather than clinical.
This slice holds 150 whites pulled from the Valspar Reserve and Signature decks. You get true brights like Ultra White (7006-24), but you also get whites that lean warm and creamy, such as Whipped Mint (6006-7A) and Jasmine Rice (T667). That spread means you can stay in one brand and still find a white that fits a cool room or a cozy one.
A simple, reliable move is to put your brightest white on the trim and ceiling and a slightly softer white on the walls. Pair Whipped Mint (6006-7A) or Constellation (T649) on the walls with Ultra White (7006-24) on the trim, and the trim reads crisp without looking harsh.
Valspar's warm whites also sit naturally next to the brand's signature greens and beiges, like Warm Eucalyptus, Safari Beige, and Gray Silt. If you want contrast, a warm white wall with a deeper neutral or muted green on a single wall or the cabinets keeps the whole scheme grounded and calm.
Dove White (7002-7) — A soft warm white at LRV 85.1.1 with a cream undertone, one of the Valspar whites people default to for trim, ceilings, and whole-house walls. Ultra White and Soft Wool and Swiss Coffee round out the short list most people choose from.
Most lean warm. Valspar's reputation is built on warm, livable neutrals, and its white family follows that, with soft creamy undertones in colors like Whipped Mint and Jasmine Rice. You can still find clean, bright options like Ultra White if you want a cooler, crisper look.
In this slice, Ultra White (7006-24) is the brightest at an LRV of 93.6. It reflects the most light, which makes it a strong pick for dark rooms, trim, and ceilings where you want maximum brightness.
LRV stands for light reflectance value, and it measures how much light a color bounces back. For whites it tells you how bright the wall will feel: higher numbers like 93.6 read crisp and clean, while lower numbers around 69 to 80 feel softer and warmer. This slice ranges from 69.2 to 93.6.
Valspar is sold at Lowe's and Ace Hardware. It comes in the Ultra, Signature (with ScuffShield, around forty dollars a gallon), and Reserve (anti-microbial, around fifty-two dollars a gallon) lines.
Yes. All paint is mixed to order at the counter, so any of these Valspar whites can be color-matched into another brand's base, and you can match a white from Sherwin-Williams, Behr, or the Kompozit deck into Valspar. Bring the color name and code, and the store mixes it to the same color in the finish you want.
They are sibling brands. Valspar and Pratt & Lambert are both owned by Sherwin-Williams, so they share a parent company but remain separate lines with their own color decks.
