Valspar

Marrakech Mile

M249

Marrakech Mile is a saturated turquoise with a strong green-blue punch. This color announces itself. It can bring life to a powder bath, painted bench, or porch furniture, especially when the rest of the palette stays simple.

On walls, the intensity grows quickly. White trim and pale stone keep it clean. In dim corners, it may shift toward teal. Use a sample board at room scale before committing.

Marrakech Mile in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
