Valspar

Slate Court

5001-4C

Slate Court is a deep blue-teal charcoal with a greenish undertone. The near-charcoal LRV makes the teal undertone depend on strong light. Use it on a front door, library shelves, or a small powder room with strong lighting.

At LRV 7, it will swallow weak daylight and make flat walls look heavy. Satin helps on trim and cabinetry. Pair with pale stone or warm white walls so the blue-green depth stays visible.

Slate Court 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
