Valspar

Aquatic Mist

5008-9B

Aquatic Mist is a light aqua with enough chroma to look intentional, not just off-white. The wateriness is real. It can carry a kids' bath, a sunroom ceiling, or painted furniture when the room needs a lift.

Across four walls, the color will feel fresher and greener than the chip may suggest. Crisp white trim works best. Warm beige floors may dull the clean edge, so sample low on the wall.

Aquatic Mist 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.
