Valspar

Fragile Blue

7004-10

Fragile Blue is a pale blue-gray that reads nearly neutral until it sits beside white. It is subtle. The color can freshen a bathroom or small bedroom without turning baby blue.

A laundry space is another natural spot. Because it is comfortably light, it can handle wider use than stronger blues. Keep the trim clean but not icy. A warm white will soften the cool cast and make the room feel less clinical.

Fragile Blue 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.
