Valspar

Jade Sea

V099-6

Jade Sea is a blackened green with a blue-teal undertone. It is seriously dark. This color belongs where depth helps the design, such as a bar cabinet, powder room, or exterior shutter.

LRV 9 means weak lighting will hide much of the green. Use satin on trim or doors for better durability. Let pale limestone, warm white walls, or unlacquered brass to keep the finish dimensional carry the contrast.
