Valspar

Blue Chiffon

V068-4

Blue Chiffon is a muted teal-blue with enough gray to feel grown up rather than tropical. The gray matters here. On walls, it lands deeper than the airy name suggests, so use it where a room can take color, such as a laundry room, bath vanity, or porch ceiling.

Warm white trim keeps the blue from turning sharp. In dim corners, expect a more slate-like finish.

Blue Chiffon 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.
