Valspar

Night Swim

V105-6

Night Swim is a very dark blue-green, closer to deep slate teal than navy. It has underwater depth. Reserve it for a bar cabinet or compact powder room with good sconces.

The color needs pale contrast nearby. Warm wood will bring out the green. Chrome emphasizes the blue. At night, it can become nearly black, so a small chip will not tell the full story.

Night Swim 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.
