Valspar

Mountain Midnight

8004-37G

Mountain Midnight is a very dark teal-gray with a blue-green undertone. It reads nearly black in shade. The color belongs on exterior accents, cabinets, or a powder room that has deliberate lighting.

LRV 7 means contrast must be planned. Warm white trim prevents a cold read. Brushed brass gives the surface some life. Test on a larger board, because small samples hide the depth.

Mountain Midnight 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.
