Valspar

Naval Night

M310

Naval Night is a near-charcoal blue-gray with a teal edge. At this depth, use it as deliberate contrast rather than background. Use it where contrast has a job or powder room ceiling.

Gloss or satin will reveal more color than matte. White trim gives it definition. In low evening light, the blue-green note may disappear and leave a smoky charcoal, so sample before using it on every wall.

Naval 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.
