Valspar
Blue Bottle

The aqua cast shows most near cream trim and warm floors. Set it beside crisp white, chrome, or pale stone for a fresh look. In dim spaces, it may become a quiet gray-blue rather than a watery color.

Blue Bottle 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
78.0LRV 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.
