Valspar

Tribute

V071-3

Tribute is a clear medium blue that leans toward a pool-sky note. Its mid-value blue feels brightest beside clean white tile. Use it where a cheerful blue can be the main feature, such as a laundry room, kids' bath, porch ceiling, or painted desk.

The color can get brighter in direct sun, so surrounding neutrals should stay simple. White trim gives it crisp edges; natural cane or light oak brings down the sweetness.

Tribute 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.
