Valspar

Bedtime Story

4003-8B

Bedtime Story is a deep denim blue with a softened violet-gray undertone. Violet gray keeps the denim softened. Put it on a bedroom accent wall, study, or painted bookcase when navy seems too formal.

LRV 17 gives it depth without turning fully black. Warm brass and cream trim bring out the blue. Dim rooms can push it toward slate, so add lamps before judging.

Bedtime Story 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.
