Valspar

Pale Tidepool

5008-5A

Valspar Pale Tidepool is a pale yellow green that feels fresher than sage and softer than mint. A mudroom with natural fiber rugs can handle it well. Green is the point here.

Because it bounces plenty of light, the color can replace plain white in a low traffic hallway. Avoid blue gray floors unless a cooler, spa like mood is intended.

Pale Tidepool 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.
