Valspar

Deep Galaxy

8003-41G

Deep Galaxy is a smoky deep teal with a green edge. Deep Galaxy feels moody. Deep Galaxy suits a bookcase, bar cabinet, or small powder room when ordinary navy feels predictable.

It needs clean contrast because the value is low. Warm metal and pale stone bring out the blue-green rather than plain blackness. Test Deep Galaxy beside upholstery before buying gallons.

Deep Galaxy 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.
