Valspar

Epic Adventure

V073-6

Epic Adventure is an inky marine blue with very little softness. It needs commitment. A front door, bar cabinet, or small powder room can handle it when depth is welcome.

LRV 4 means it will swallow light on large surfaces. Add strong lamps and crisp trim if it goes on walls. Polished nickel makes it cooler. Leather or warm wood brings it back to earth.

Epic Adventure 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.
