Valspar

Brocade Blue

V105-4

Brocade Blue is a muted blue gray, softened by a teal undertone. It feels tailored and calm. Bedrooms, offices, and built-ins can use it where a cleaner blue would feel too bright.

It has more depth than a pastel, so give it lighter trim or furnishings. Nickel and weathered oak suit the softened hue. North light may pull it cooler.

Brocade 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.
