Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Valspar VR081C Grand Boulevard reads as a cool blue-gray with a softened, low-chroma character. The blue undertone is present, but gray keeps it restrained rather than vivid. With an LRV near 30, it sits in a medium-dark range and can appear deeper on smooth or glossy surfaces.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shelf supports, cabinet pulls, and PVC trim pieces. It is a practical fit for small metal, plastic, or wood parts where a quiet blue-gray finish helps the item read as part of the larger assembly rather than as a separate accent.

This shade should generally cover more predictably than a highly saturated color, but the final result still depends on substrate, prep, and finish. Darker or uneven underlayers can influence the appearance, and gloss can make surface texture or repair marks more noticeable. For outdoor parts, film build and exposure can also affect how deep or light the color appears.
