Valspar

Juliet Blue

M328

Juliet Blue is a light misty blue with a softened gray base. It is easy on the eye. The color works in bedrooms, baths, and laundry rooms where blue should stay gentle instead of nautical.

On walls, it becomes clearer beside warm wood or cream bedding. Brushed nickel keeps it cool. If the room gets little sun, add warm lighting so the color does not look thin.

Juliet 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.
