Valspar

Elegant Silk

5010-7

Elegant Silk is a deep teal-green with a strong blue undertone. It feels saturated and polished. Use it on cabinets, a powder room vanity, or a front door when the finish can take attention.

At this depth, add good lighting if it covers full walls. Brass looks warm against it. Crisp white tile makes the color cleaner. But matte walls may show scuffs quickly.
