Valspar

Play Me A Melody

V106-5

Valspar Play Me A Melody behaves like a softened steel blue with a faint teal pull. It is deep enough for mudroom lockers, built ins, or a bathroom vanity, yet quieter than a true navy. Cabinet sheen matters here.

In eggshell, the color can go a little chalky on walls with weak daylight. Balance it with linen Roman shades, white oak, and a ceiling color that is not stark blue white.

Play Me A Melody 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.
