Valspar

Water Fountain

5001-10A

Water Fountain is a clear medium blue with a fresh aqua edge. It feels bright. Use it for bathrooms, laundry rooms, porch ceilings, or a painted vanity where clean color makes sense.

The blue becomes stronger beside bright white tile. Warm wood and linen can soften it for bedrooms. If the room already has cool gray surfaces, sample first so the color does not feel too sharp.

Water Fountain 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.
