Valspar

Estero Sky

V071-4

Estero Sky is a saturated mid blue with a clean tropical cast. It has color authority. Use it as a vanity color, on porch furniture, or in a small bath where energy is welcome.

Since it sits deeper than most sky blues, it needs enough white or pale surfaces nearby. Chrome sharpens it. Natural wood keeps the look from feeling themed.

Estero 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.
