Valspar

Icy Blue

5004-9A

Icy Blue is a bright mint-blue with a clean, cool cast. It feels refreshing. Baths, laundry rooms, and porch ceilings can take the brightness, especially with white tile nearby.

Across large walls, it reads more aqua than the chip may suggest. Keep trim clean. Warm brass can add needed warmth. Creamy cabinets may make the color look greener, so place the sample beside every fixed white.

Icy 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.
