Valspar

Angelic Blue

5003-9B

Angelic Blue is a clean light aqua with a cheerful base. Glossy tile suits the aqua-blue cast. The color suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, ceilings, or bedrooms where a visible blue is welcome.

It is bright but not blank, so it will influence nearby whites. Pair with crisp trim, nickel, and pale wood. Cream cabinets can make it look more saturated. In low light, the aqua softens and becomes more gray.

Angelic Blue in Different Light
