Valspar
Soothing Blue
V068-2
White tile and chrome bring out the freshness. Warm wood stops the room from feeling sterile. On a shaded wall, the gray side may take over. Sample beside grout, since grout can change blue quickly.

Soothing Blue 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
60.2LRV 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.
