Valspar

Quiet Nook

8002-42A

Quiet Nook is a clear light blue with a gentle aqua lean. The aqua lean suits rooms with white tile or beadboard. A bath, porch ceiling, or small bedroom can handle the color easily.

The soft brightness helps it bounce daylight, so it will look brighter on large walls. For Quiet Nook, white tile plus pale oak. Warm wood keeps it from feeling too cool. Sample it beside the tile.
