Valspar

Bright and Breezy

8002-40B

Bright and Breezy is a light aqua-blue with a clean, sunny feeling. It has real color. The shade suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, or a porch ceiling where freshness is welcome.

On full walls, the aqua can become more obvious than the name suggests. White tile and pale rattan suit it. Avoid pairing it with muddy tans that dull the blue.

Bright and Breezy 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.
