Valspar

Deep Thoughts

T694

Deep Thoughts is a muted teal gray, more atmospheric than bright. The color stays subdued. Deep Thoughts suits offices, bedrooms, and cabinetry when green-blue feels right but saturated teal feels too loud.

In dim light, it can turn murky, so test it upright. Set it against cream trim, walnut, or textured linen. A satin sample may tell more about Deep Thoughts than matte.

Deep Thoughts 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.
