Valspar

Renew Blue

8003-37D

Renew Blue by Valspar is a muted, cool blue-green with subtle teal undertones, registering an LRV of 43. At hex #99b6b3, it reads as a desaturated aqua-gray, leaning more toward green than a standard blue. This mid-range reflectance means it provides noticeable color on walls without significantly darkening a room.

The low saturation keeps it restrained, making it workable for full-room applications in bathrooms, bedrooms, or sunrooms. Renew Blue coordinates with Valspar Gravity and Filtered Shade in cool-neutral schemes, and contrasts with Ivory Brown, Frappe, and Du Jour for warm-cool balance.

Renew 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.
