Valspar

Blue Tea

M355

Blue Tea is a dusty blue-gray with a restrained teal undertone. Quiet rooms suit it. The color can be handsome in an office, bedroom, or mudroom, especially with black hooks or medium-toned wood.

It is deeper than it looks on a small chip, so use light bedding or trim for relief. Cool daylight may make it feel more mineral than blue.

Blue Tea 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.
