As we seek a joy-filled life, this approachable and livable ultramarine creates a perfect backdrop for happiness in the home.
HOW TO STYLE
Valspar Encore has saturation and a tinge of violet that bridges both digital and physical spaces. Using crisp, cool shades in the home mimics the mood in virtual space. Low lighting will amplify the violet undertone that helps ease our eyes back into reality.
