Valspar

Droplet

8002-38C

Droplet brings a clear aqua blue that still has enough softness for real rooms. Water is the reference. It can brighten a bath, mudroom, or porch ceiling without needing a lot of decoration around it.

Because it sits in a comfortably light range, it spreads color easily across walls. White tile sharpens it. Warm wood makes the blue-green feel less clinical.

Droplet 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.
