Explorer Blue is a light, cool blue with balanced undertones that give it a poised quality. With an LRV of 69, it brightens interiors with a refreshing feel, ideal for bathrooms, laundry rooms, and sunlit bedrooms. Valspar offers Bayside as an extremely close match, while Vista Paint's May Day is also very similar.
