Valspar

Summer Splash

5002-9C

Valspar Summer Splash is a lively blue with a turquoise lean. It brings energy. A kids' bath, pool house, laundry room, or painted desk can handle this clear color.

The middle depth keeps it from feeling pastel on vertical surfaces. White tile, light maple, or chrome suits the fresh cast, and muddy beige finishes can dull the blue faster than expected in evening light.

Summer Splash 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.
