Valspar

Encore

8002-45G

Encore by Valspar is a deep, saturated blue with strong gray undertones, registering an LRV of 6, which means it absorbs most ambient light. The hex value #0f456e places it in the medium-dark navy range with a subtle lean toward teal. This level of depth makes it suitable for accent walls, cabinetry, front doors, or feature furniture where a concentrated color statement is needed.

Encore can be paired with Valspar Du Jour or Seashell Gray as lighter contrasts, and it also sits well alongside Filtered Shade, Renew Blue, and Modern Gray in coordinated palettes.
