Valspar

Misty

5002-9B

Misty is a light aqua-blue with a clear, watery cast. It feels fresh and open. The color can brighten a bathroom, porch ceiling, or laundry room without drifting into gray.

It will show as blue on a full wall, especially beside warm trim. White tile keeps the blue clean. Natural rattan adds softness. In dim corners, expect a cooler blue-green rather than a true pastel.

Misty 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.
