Valspar

High Noon

5001-5B

High Noon brings medium-light blue with a softened gray-green undertone. The blue-green cast keeps baths and offices lighter than a stronger teal would. Baths and home offices can use it where a little color can replace pale gray.

The shade has enough body to look intentional on walls. White trim will sharpen the watery side. Pale oak makes it calmer. In rooms with warm bulbs, expect the gray base to soften the blue rather than erase it.

High Noon 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.
