Valspar

Dj Blue

V106-3

DJ Blue is a soft blue with a gray-teal undertone. DJ Blue feels relaxed. DJ Blue suits bedrooms, bathrooms, or a home office when a gentle coastal blue is useful.

Warm floors keep it from feeling too cool. White trim, light stone, and brushed nickel support the clean side of the color. Check the sample vertically so DJ Blue does not fool you.

Dj Blue 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.
