Valspar

Lights at Sea

V028-3

Lights at Sea is a deep, saturated teal with a strong green-blue center. It is vivid. A front door, bath vanity, or accent cabinet lets the color stay focused.

On full walls, it needs strong white contrast and good lighting. Brushed brass adds warmth. Pale terrazzo gives relief. Warm bulbs will soften the teal, but they will not make it neutral.
