Valspar

Wave Goodbye

V137-4

Wave Goodbye is a medium blue-gray carrying a weathered, slightly cool cast. The blue-gray depth gives bedrooms color without turning nautical. Bedrooms, offices, or baths suit it where a neutral blue needs restraint.

It has enough depth to show against white trim without feeling dark. Pale oak, linen, or nickel keep the palette relaxed. In north light, it can look more steely, so add warmth through flooring or fabric.

Wave Goodbye 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.
