Valspar

Blue Topaz

V070-4

Blue Topaz is a clear mid blue with a turquoise sparkle. It feels bright but usable. Choose it where a room can handle freshness, such as a coastal bedroom, bath, or painted porch piece.

It may look more playful across four walls than on the chip. Warm white casing and woven textures calm the blue. Keep nearby colors quieter so the shade can settle.

Blue Topaz 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.
