Valspar

Bayou Serenade

8001-38G

Bayou Serenade is a dark blue-teal with a strong aquatic undertone. It feels saturated and shadowy. Consider it for a powder room, exterior door, or base cabinets if the surrounding palette stays simple.

Covering every wall, it will need pale trim and layered lamps. The blue side becomes clearer beside white. Brass and warm wood bring out the green. Matte walls may show scuffs quickly.
