Valspar

Blue Spirit

8002-41E

Blue Spirit is a smoky medium-deep teal-blue with a grounded base. It reads substantial. This color suits lower cabinets, exterior shutters, or a den where stronger color feels appropriate.

Because it is deeper than a casual aqua, it needs light trim or pale counters to stay balanced. Warm wood helps. In low light, the teal can collapse toward slate.

Blue Spirit 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.
