Deep Blue Sea

5001-10C

Deep Blue Sea is a saturated blue teal, deep but still colorful. It carries energy. Deep Blue Sea suits cabinetry, a bathroom vanity, or a feature wall where the room can handle strong color.

It will darken in corners. White tile, butcher block, and simple black hardware keep the teal under control. A two-coat sample will show where Deep Blue Sea really lands.

Deep Blue Sea 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.
