Valspar

in the Mood

V071-5

in the Mood is a deep peacock blue with a green undertone. It has swagger. Use it for a bar cabinet, front door, or dramatic bath vanity where color can take the lead.

LRV 16 makes it dark enough to need strong lighting on walls. Crisp white trim gives it energy. Brass brings out richness. In shaded rooms, the color may move closer to ink-blue.

in the Mood 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.
