Valspar

Boo Blue

V072-4

Boo Blue is a cheerful medium blue with a clean sky-and-water quality. The clean mid-blue value gives a vanity enough presence. A bathroom vanity, child's dresser, or porch ceiling gives this playful blue a clear job.

It is stronger than an airy pastel, so use it thoughtfully on full walls. Soft white trim and light maple keep the mood easy. In strong daylight, it brightens quickly.

Boo Blue 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.
