Valspar
Blue Prism
8002-45B
It is not as gray as many blue-grays, so it can look more cheerful in strong daylight. Pair with white trim and pale woods. In rooms with beige carpet, sample carefully to avoid a baby-blue effect.

Blue Prism 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
58.0LRV 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.
