Valspar

Ocean Reef

V067-5

Ocean Reef is a deep teal with a green-blue core. The color feels saturated and dense. It can make a vanity or small office wall feel intentional without choosing navy.

White counters brighten it. Warm woods keep it grounded. Because it sits in the dark range, all four walls need good lighting and a clear trim contrast to keep the room readable.

Ocean Reef 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.
