Valspar
Novella Blue
4004-5B
White trim creates a classic contrast. Warm linen keeps the palette from going cold. In north light, the gray side becomes more prominent, so check whether the room still feels inviting after dusk.

Novella Blue 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
52.4LRV 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.
