Valspar

Goddess of the Nile

V109-5

Goddess of the Nile is a deep slate blue with a muted teal undertone. It feels cool and composed. Try it on built-ins or a bath vanity when navy feels too formal.

LRV 17 means it needs real lighting. Pair with crisp white trim and warm wood. In shadow, it can read charcoal-blue, so do not judge it from a tiny chip.

Goddess of the Nile 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.
