Valspar

Blue Energy

M258

Blue Energy is a clear aqua-green that feels fresh without going neon. The green keeps it lively. It belongs in spaces that can handle a playful color, such as a bathroom vanity, laundry cabinets, or a beach-house door.

On full walls, it will announce itself fast. Pair it with white, rattan, or sandy tile, and avoid heavy red-brown woods that fight the clean blue.

Blue Energy 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.
