Valspar

Office Blue

4005-6A

Office Blue is a muted medium blue with a gray denim undertone. The denim-gray cast keeps screens and shelving from fighting it. Use it in an office or built-in shelving area when bright blue would be distracting.

LRV 29 gives it a grounded character. Warm white trim stops it from feeling cold. Leather or oak adds balance. In low daylight, expect the gray side to come forward.

Office 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.
