Peacock Blues

8003-41E

Valspar Peacock Blues has a peacock feather mix of blue and teal, but the gray in the formula keeps it from turning tropical. The color wants lamplight. In a library, paint the shelves and backs together so the depth feels intentional.

Mudroom lockers also suit it because scuffs look less harsh in satin. Bring in pale counters or a warm ceiling white if the room has only one small window.
