Valspar

Blue Marble

V110-5

Blue Marble is a medium blue-gray with a quiet denim character. It has usable depth. Built-ins, a bedroom accent wall, or bathroom cabinetry can carry it when navy feels too dark.

LRV 30 keeps it in the deeper middle range, so plan for contrast. Warm metals soften the gray edge. In shade, the blue becomes more restrained and almost slate-like.

Blue Marble 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.
