Valspar

Fresh Mist

5008-9C

Fresh Mist is a clear aqua that leans greener than a standard spa blue. The color feels clean and lively, so it works best where that freshness helps, like a kids' bath, laundry room, or porch ceiling. Large walls need restraint near glossy white tile.

On larger walls, the green side becomes more obvious near white tile. Pair it with simple chrome and a warm white ceiling if the room needs softness.

Fresh Mist 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.
