Valspar

Float Your Boat

V064-3

Float Your Boat is a medium teal-green with a softened blue base. The softened teal suits wet rooms with white tile. Use the shade for a bath vanity, laundry cabinets, or a sunroom accent when the fixed finishes can support cool color.

The mid value gives it clear presence. Bring in crisp white trim or natural cane for balance. In lower light, it becomes more muted and less watery.
