Valspar

Blue Goblin

T683

Blue Goblin is a softened blue with a misty green-gray undertone. It feels coastal without the cliché. The color is light enough for a bathroom or bedroom but still has visible body on the wall.

It works nicely with brushed nickel and pale oak. If the room faces north, expect a cooler, quieter finish. Warm bulbs will bring back some softness at night.

Blue Goblin 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.
