Valspar

Dewdrop

4006-7A

Dewdrop is a pale blue with a clean, watery cast. The bright value lets this watery blue work in windowless baths with good bulbs. Dewdrop suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and laundry rooms that can handle a cool pastel.

The high brightness keeps it airy, but nearby greenery may reflect into it. Brushed nickel keeps it clean. Move the sample around so it meets every exposure before paint day.

Dewdrop 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.
