Valspar

Bay Teal

5004-10C

Bay Teal is a deep saturated teal with a strong green-blue punch. Let it command one main surface. It suits a front door, bath vanity, or bar cabinet where color is meant to lead.

LRV 15 keeps it on the dark side, so full walls need bright trim and good lighting. Pair with warm white, pale terrazzo, or rift oak. Avoid cluttered patterns nearby, since the color already carries movement.

Bay Teal 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.
