Valspar

Arabian Nights

M317

Arabian Nights is a deep petrol blue with a green undertone hiding inside the darkness. LRV 8 is serious. Try it for a front door, bar cabinet, or powder room where strong contrast is the point.

On full walls, plan for lamps at eye level so the color does not collapse into black. White trim sharpens the blue. Brass warms it without making it look decorative.

Arabian Nights 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.
