Valspar

Later Gator

8001-35G

Later Gator is a deep saturated teal-green with a blue undertone. It is bold and dark. A front door, bath vanity, or built-in cabinet can take the strength without turning the room into a cave.

LRV 16 means it will need contrast, especially on full walls. Warm white trim keeps the teal readable. Pale terrazzo lightens the mood. Matte paint can make the shade look flatter and show marks.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
