Valspar

Aquamarine

V066-3

Aquamarine is a softened blue-green with more gray than a clear pool color. The gray keeps it usable. It can freshen a bath, laundry room, or porch ceiling without turning neon.

Spread broadly, the blue side shows first; the green comes through near plants and warm wood. Pair it with white tile or pale maple. In dim corners, expect a quieter sea-glass note rather than bright turquoise.

Aquamarine 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.
