Valspar
Lucy Blue
5001-5C
In daylight, the teal side opens slightly. At night, it settles into a softer gray-blue. Warm white trim gives contrast; natural wood relaxes it. Very cool lighting may turn it steely.

Lucy 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.

LRV
36.1LRV 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.
