Valspar

Sailboat

4005-5B

Valspar Sailboat is a light blue with a misty gray undertone. The effect feels clean and breezy. The color suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and laundry rooms, especially near white tile, pale wood.

Because it has enough gray, it avoids a nursery-blue effect on larger walls. Soft white trim, brushed chrome, or sandy natural fiber rugs finish it well. In low northern light, expect a cooler and quieter version.

Sailboat 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.
