Valspar

Deep Sea Dive

M306

Deep Sea Dive is an inky teal with a strong green-blue core. The water note is intense. It can make a striking vanity, exterior door, or small bath with bright tile.

At LRV 7, poor lighting will make it read close to black. Warm white, brass, or pale oak keep the finish coherent. Compare Deep Sea Dive with the room empty and furnished.

Deep Sea Dive 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.
