Valspar

Electric Sky

M220

Electric Sky is a muted periwinkle-blue with a gray-violet base. It is calmer than the name. Try it for a bedroom, creative office, or painted ceiling when blue needs a little depth.

Because the value is deep, it needs more light than a pastel. Warm lamps can bring out the violet side. Clean white trim and natural rattan keep it from feeling chilly.

Electric Sky 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.

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.
