Valspar

White Lightning

V111-1

Blue leads here. On a full wall, White Lightning moves toward light blue rather than green. The color earns its keep on a front door, especially when the windows face north.

Stone surfaces are a useful check for undertone conflicts. Keep black steel nearby and let the sample dry fully before deciding. Judge the sample beside fixed finishes, because trim and flooring decide whether the color belongs.

White Lightning 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.
