Valspar

Crystal Aqua

5006-7B

Crystal Aqua is a light aqua with balanced blue and green. White tile sharpens the turquoise. Crystal Aqua suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, or coastal bedrooms where a watery color belongs.

The brightness keeps it from feeling heavy, but large walls can look more playful than the chip. White tile and pale wood keep the room crisp. A satin sample may tell more about this color than matte.

Crystal Aqua 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.
