Valspar

Sapphire Earrings

M240

Valspar Sapphire Earrings is a dark cobalt-navy with a clear blue core. The color goes deep fast. It suits front doors, cabinets, media rooms, and paneled offices with good lighting.

Compared with softer navy, this one has more jewel tone and less gray. Bring white trim, warm brass, or natural walnut into nearby finishes. On textured walls, choose sheen carefully because dark blues can highlight uneven surfaces.

Sapphire Earrings in Different Light
