Valspar

Wetbar

V125-5

Wetbar is a dark neutral gray with a subtle violet-brown shadow. It feels moody but restrained. Use it exactly where the name suggests, on bar cabinets, vanities, doors, or trim in a room with warm lighting.

At LRV 14, it needs contrast from tile, counters, or walls. Pair with brass, soapstone, or soft white. In flat paint, the color may look dull.

Wetbar 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.
