Valspar

Blueprint

V035-3

Blueprint is a deep, saturated blue with a teal-leaning base. It looks architectural. Use it for doors, shutters, cabinetry, or a compact powder room that can take drama.

LRV 10 means the color will darken quickly away from windows. Pair it with crisp white or pale oak for contrast. In glossy sheen, the blue appears clearer and less blackened.

Blueprint 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 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.
