Valspar

High Seas

4006-10A

High Seas brings saturated medium blue with a clean, breezy cast. It has movement. The color can bring character to a bathroom vanity, porch furniture, or a kid's room without feeling navy.

Across full walls, the brightness will be obvious. Keep larger furniture pieces quieter. Crisp white trim gives it a classic coastal edge. In lower light, the blue deepens but keeps its clarity.

High Seas 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.
