Valspar

Out of the Blue

5004-9B

Out of the Blue is a pale aqua-blue with a bright, clean finish. It feels open and fresh. Use it for bathrooms or a ceiling when a room needs gentle color.

Glossy white tile makes the aqua side feel cleaner. Natural wood prevents a chilly effect. In shaded spaces, it can settle into a soft blue-gray, so look at the sample on the wall farthest from the window.

Out of the 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 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.
