Valspar

Relaxed Navy

5001-2B

Relaxed Navy is a dark blue gray with a muted teal edge, not a classic crisp navy. The gray teal cast gives navy a softened coastal edge. Use the color for cabinets, a media room, or shutter color when black seems too hard.

The color is genuinely dark, so plan trim contrast and good lighting. Warm woods and cream walls bring out the blue better than cool gray finishes.
