Valspar

Norwegian Night

V111-4

Norwegian Night is a muted bluish gray with a denim undertone and medium-dark depth. LRV 26 keeps it substantial. Use it for an office or built-ins where navy would feel too heavy.

Warm white trim helps the blue stand out. Brass brings a classic note. In low daylight, the gray can dominate, so layer lamps if the room needs the color to stay blue.

Norwegian 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.
