Valspar

Times Current

8003-45G

Valspar Times Current is an inky navy with a blue black feel. Serious quickly. A library, built-ins, or exterior shutters can handle it where a classic dark color belongs and the lighting plan is strong.

At LRV 5, sheen matters. Warm white trim, polished brass, or oak floors help the blue show instead of disappearing into near black at night.

Times Current 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.
