Valspar

Gulf Stream Blue

P033

Gulf Stream Blue is medium blue, clear teal cast included, with more depth than a sky blue. It feels coastal but not pale. A bath vanity or mudroom cubby can take it when a stronger color suits the architecture.

Across broad walls, corners can turn deeper. White trim sharpens the color. Warm wood keeps it approachable. Test beside tile, because green-blue can shift fast near fixed surfaces.

Gulf Stream 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.
