Valspar
Cobalt Glow
8001-45F
For cabinetry, balance it with simple counters and restrained hardware. The color needs light around it, since the value is deeper than the brightness suggests. Warm wood can make the blue feel richer and less crisp.

Cobalt Glow 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
23.0LRV 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.
