Valspar

Cathedral View

V103-6

Cathedral View is an extremely dark blue green, almost black once it is on a wall. Give it a clear purpose. A front door, bar cabinet, or powder room ceiling can carry the drama without swallowing a whole main room.

Its LRV is about 5, so daylight alone will not keep the color readable. Gloss or satin helps the green show. Pair with white plaster, marble, or unlacquered brass for clear separation.

Cathedral View 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.
