Valspar

Midsummer Night

V101-6

Midsummer Night is a very dark blue-green with an almost black read. The teal is quiet. It works best on doors, cabinetry, or a dramatic powder room rather than a low-light hallway.

A glossy finish will show more color than flat paint. Set it against warm white walls or light stone. In rooms without strong lamps, the undertone may disappear. Treat it like a near-black when planning contrast.

Midsummer Night 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.
