Valspar

Dragons Lair

8003-41F

Dragons Lair is a smoky deep teal with gray in the mix. Evening light makes it much moodier. It suits bookcases, a powder room, or an exterior door where drama belongs.

With LRV 10, it will need bright trim and proper lamps. Warm oak and aged brass keep it from feeling cold. Compare it with the room empty and furnished.

LRV 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.
