Valspar

Exotic Sea

5004-10B

Exotic Sea is a saturated teal-blue with a vivid aquatic center. It makes a statement. The color works on a bath vanity, porch door, or accent furniture when surrounding surfaces stay calm.

This depth needs light and clean contrast. White tile makes it sparkle. Warm rattan prevents a slick finish. Use a washable sheen in busy areas. Satin works well.

Exotic 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.
