Valspar

Waterslide

V031-2

Waterslide is a lively sky aqua with more strength than a pale blue. It feels playful. Use it in kids' baths, laundry rooms, pool-house spaces, or a casual porch ceiling.

At a mid light level, it can cover walls but still needs simple surroundings. Pair with white, light oak, or chrome. In direct sun, the aqua can get bright, so sample before using it everywhere.

Waterslide 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.
