Valspar

Double Denim

V072-3

Double Denim is a light-medium blue with a clear denim cast. Double Denim feels casual. Double Denim works in bedrooms, laundry rooms, and built-ins when navy is too dark but pale blue feels weak.

Warm light softens the edge. Add cream trim, rattan, or medium oak for balance to steady the palette. Let the biggest wall decide whether Double Denim has enough weight.

Double Denim 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.
