Valspar

New Prince

V069-2

New Prince is a bright pale sky blue with a clean aqua lean. The aqua lean makes small baths feel rinsed with daylight. Try it for a bathroom or cheerful bedroom where the goal is light color rather than neutrality.

Use a clean white on trim if the goal is sparkle. Linen curtains keep it softer. In strong sunlight, it can become more playful than expected. A large sample will show whether the saturation suits the room.

New Prince 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.
