Valspar

Perfect Storm

5001-6C

Valspar Perfect Storm reads like blue-blackened teal after the green has been muted down. It is genuinely dark, so a room needs lamps before its undertone shows. Powder rooms handle that drama well.

On an exterior door, the shade feels strong without shouting navy. Choose a washable sheen for millwork, then set the sample against trim, flooring, and any nearby stone to catch the undertone before paint day.

Perfect Storm 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.
