Valspar

Amazon Drift

V065-5

Amazon Drift is a deep teal green with a blue, river-water base. It feels saturated and moody. Use it for cabinetry, a front door, or a powder room that can take color.

LRV 15 sits right at the edge of dark, so larger surfaces need strong lamps and light trim. Use a warm white nearby, then add pale cane or brass. In shade, the color can read more green-black than teal.

Amazon Drift 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.
