Valspar

In the Deep Blue Sea

8004-40F

In the Deep Blue Sea is a dark slate-blue with a muted gray undertone. The effect is deep and restrained. Built-ins and doors suit it when navy feels too saturated.

LRV 14 means it needs lamps and pale contrast indoors. The blue shows better beside crisp white than cream. Warm wood prevents a cold finish. In shade, it may read charcoal first.
