Valspar

Hobgoblin

8004-39F

Hobgoblin lands as blackened blue-green with a smoky teal cast. The smoky teal depth works best with pale stone or glossy tile. A powder room or bar cabinet can take the depth when color should read serious rather than bright.

LRV 10 means it needs real lighting indoors. Gloss or satin helps the surface stay dimensional. Pair with pale stone or warm white trim. In low light, the color may look closer to charcoal-blue.

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.
