Valspar

Ocean Sigh

5002-10A

Ocean Sigh is a vivid blue-aqua with enough depth to avoid a pastel look. Its saturated aqua works best where the color can be intentional. Use it where energy makes sense or kids' desk nook.

White trim turns it crisp. Pale wood calms it down. On large walls, the color will be much stronger than a small swatch, so test a generous sample before painting a whole room.
