Valspar

In the Shallows

V028-1

In the Shallows is a light aqua-green with a clean watery cast. The light aqua value keeps porch ceilings and baths bright, even with visible color. Baths and porch ceilings can use the brightness without becoming too dark.

On larger walls, the aqua will be clear, especially beside white trim. Warm wood prevents a chilly finish. Nickel fixtures suit it naturally. If nearby cabinets are cream, sample first because the green side may look stronger.
