Valspar

Skinny Dippin

V106-1

Skinny Dippin is a light blue with a cool, watery gray base. The cool blue-gray base works best with clean bath finishes. Use it where a room can handle a breezy cast, such as bathrooms, laundry spaces, or a ceiling over white walls.

On broad surfaces, the blue becomes clearer than it does on a small chip. Chrome and clear glass suit the color well. Warm beige tile may dull it, so sample right next to the grout.

Skinny Dippin 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.
