Valspar

Open Skies

P105

Open Skies is a very light blue with a soft watery cast. Its watery tint is strongest near white trim and window light. The color can lift a ceiling or small bedroom without becoming a saturated blue statement.

Clean white trim makes the tint easier to see. Warm wood keeps the room from feeling cold. In shaded spaces, it may read closer to cool off-white, so compare it near windows and corners.
