Sapphire Earbobs

8003-46F

Valspar Sapphire Earbobs is a deep slate blue with gray tempering the color. Tailoring is the point. This shade suits built-ins, office walls, exterior shutters, or a bedroom accent where navy would feel too formal.

Weak light can turn it charcoal blue. Warm white trim, cognac leather, or brushed nickel help it handsome. Very purple textiles can pull out a cooler violet note, so compare fabrics first.
