Valspar

Chivalry

M347

Chivalry is a medium-deep blue with a clear teal cast. It has more color than slate but less brightness than turquoise. Use it on cabinetry, a bedroom wall, or a mudroom built-in when the room needs a confident blue.

Warm wood keeps the palette from feeling too cool. In low light, the gray side becomes stronger. Pair with crisp trim and simple textiles so the color remains the main event.

Chivalry 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.
