Valspar

Beach Breeze

M227

Beach Breeze is a medium-light seafoam green with a blue-gray softness. It reads relaxed. This shade freshens a bedroom, bath, or porch ceiling without becoming too sweet.

On walls, it looks best when the surrounding whites are clean. Natural oak warms it nicely. In rooms with low daylight, the gray side may quiet it more than expected. Sample near tile, because grout can shift the read.

Beach Breeze 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.
