Valspar

Aussie Surf

V064-5

Aussie Surf is a deep green-teal with a grounded, smoky character. Not tropical aqua. The color works well on vanities, mudroom cabinetry, or an accent wall with plenty of white nearby.

In shaded rooms, it turns moodier and closer to blue-green slate. Pair with pale oak or textured limestone. Use satin for high-touch surfaces because darker teal can mark easily.

Aussie Surf 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.
