Valspar

Kate's Ring

8002-44G

Kate's Ring is a dark saturated blue with a teal edge. The color reads jewel-like in daylight and much deeper in shade. Exterior doors, bathroom vanities, or a single wall in a bright office can handle it.

On all four walls, it needs pale flooring or substantial trim contrast. Chrome cools the mood. Brass makes the blue richer. Sample it upright first.

Kate's Ring 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.
