Valspar

Strong Will

8001-44G

Valspar Strong Will is a genuinely dark navy blue with a sturdy, practical feel. Use it with intention. It belongs on doors, cabinets, wainscoting, or a small office where the depth can feel tailored instead of heavy.

At LRV 8, it absorbs a lot of light. Satin or semi-gloss helps on millwork, and brass hardware will bring out the classic side.
