Valspar

Palisade Blue

4006-3B

Built ins painted Valspar Palisade Blue will look like a grayed medium blue, not a pastel. The color has enough body to outline shelves and paneling clearly. Its blue gray cast is calm.

In a room with lots of greenery outside the windows, the shade can feel slightly cooler. Pair it with linen, maple, or a creamy white wall color.

Palisade 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.
