Valspar

Kevin's Stang

M345

Kevin's Stang is a very dark blue-green with a strong teal core. It feels bold and compact. This shade suits a front door, bar cabinetry, or a powder room with crisp trim.

Weak light will make it look close to black, so judge it on a painted board in the actual room. Warm white, cane, or brass gives the wall a cleaner edge. Satin finish adds useful depth.
