Valspar

Blue Mist

4006-9A

Blue Mist is a pale, clean blue with a soft water-glass quality. It stays light. The color can brighten a bath, upstairs hallway, or ceiling without turning into a loud pastel.

Because it reflects plenty of light, it may spread a cool cast onto white tile. Use creamy towels, woven shades, or light wood to warm the room. Sample beside trim before choosing a crisp white.

Blue Mist 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.
