Valspar

Clear Cove

V066-2

Clear Cove is a light aqua with a cool blue-green cast. It feels fresh at first glance, so use it where that quality is welcome: bathrooms, laundry rooms, porch ceilings, or a small bedroom. Bright value helps it cover more wall area, but it is still noticeably blue-green.

Pair with clean white, pale oak, or nickel. Cream trim can mute the clarity. In strong sun, expect the aqua side to become more vivid.

Clear Cove 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.
