Valspar

A-List Blue

T673

A-List Blue is a light silvery blue with a muted gray base. The blue is restrained. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and offices where a gray neutral needs more freshness.

On large walls, it can look almost gray until placed beside white trim. Polished nickel and white tile work naturally with it. Warm oak gives the palette balance. Creamy trim may pull the color bluer, so compare both together.

A-List Blue 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.
