Valspar

Aristocratic

M336

Aristocratic is a moody blue-teal with a charcoal backbone. Low sheen keeps the teal controlled. On cabinets or a paneled powder room, the color reads tailored instead of playful.

LRV 14 puts it in the dark range, so do not judge it from a tiny chip. A larger board will show whether the green undertone helps or fights nearby finishes. Warm white trim plus aged brass gives it enough relief.

Aristocratic 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.
