Valspar

Fine China

M314

Fine China is a pale aqua-gray with a clean porcelain feel. It is delicate. The color can freshen a bath, laundry room, or bedroom without shouting blue.

Because it is comfortably light, it works across more wall area than deeper aqua shades. White tile and brushed nickel suit its coolness. Warm wood softens it. Cream trim may make the blue-green look more pronounced.

Fine China 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.
