Valspar

Glacier Bay

V108-3

Glacier Bay is a medium slate blue with a softened gray cast. It feels cool and steady. The color can settle a bedroom, bath, or office without turning bright blue.

On cabinetry, it gives more interest than plain gray. Pair with clean white trim and natural wood. In weak daylight, it may look grayer, so use a sample board on the darkest wall before deciding.

Glacier Bay 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.
