Valspar
Perfectly Blue

Its comfortable lightness prevents heaviness, but bright sun can make it more playful. Pair with simple white trim and pale maple. Shelving should stay crisp beside it. Sun can brighten the blue.

Perfectly 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
58.3LRV 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.
