Valspar

Sky Space

5001-6B

Sky Space is a deep teal-blue with a smoky green undertone. It has mood. Use it for a powder room, bar cabinet, or front door where a strong color makes sense.

At LRV 17, it will darken a room quickly on full walls. Warm brass adds richness. Pale stone keeps it from feeling closed in. Flat paint can show marks, so consider satin on high-touch surfaces.

Sky Space 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.
