Valspar

Sailing on the Bay

V106-2

Valspar Sailing on the Bay is a pale aqua blue with a clear watery quality. Its blue-green tint suits spaces that need color without visual noise. Use it where fresh color matters, such as a bath, sunroom, or ceiling over a porch.

White trim will make it feel crisp. Warmer whites soften the coastal note. Bring in pale oak, seagrass, or blue-gray towels for balance. If the room gets strong afternoon sun, check that it does not turn too bright.

Sailing on the Bay 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.
