Valspar

Lagoon Reflection

V139-3

Lagoon Reflection is a muted lagoon gray with a slight blue-green cast. The gray base keeps it composed. Bedrooms, baths, or living rooms suit it when a coastal feeling should remain subtle.

In daylight, the blue-green note opens up. Evening light settles it into gray. White oak and linen keep the finish easy. Avoid heavy cream trim if the sample starts to look dull.

Lagoon Reflection 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.
