Valspar

Bay Mist

5006-7C

Bay Mist is balanced blue-green aqua at a medium-light value. It feels clear. It brings lift to a bathroom, porch ceiling, or laundry room without going pastel.

Across a broad wall, it becomes more colorful than a mist name implies. Clean white trim keeps it crisp. Warm beige tile may dull the freshness, so test beside grout and flooring. Silver metal works better than heavy bronze here.

Bay 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.
