Valspar

Fish Tale

V066-6

Fish Tale is a dark green-blue that reads close to ink. It has serious depth. Exterior shutters, interior doors, or a compact powder room can use this near-black teal.

Full walls need several lamps. Warm white and natural stone keep the palette from closing in. Gloss on a door will show more color than flat paint on drywall. That matters here.
