Valspar

Lake Henry

V070-5

Lake Henry is a deeper lake blue with a softened teal undertone. It has substance. A small office, mudroom cabinet, or bath vanity can feel tailored in this blue.

On walls, it needs good natural light or it may sit darker than expected. Warm white trim and aged brass sit well nearby. A pale stone floor gives enough contrast without making the blue look too nautical.

Lake Henry 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.
