Valspar

Poseidon's Castle

V066-5

Poseidon's Castle is a saturated teal that leans green, more deep pool water than navy. Reserve it with intention. A powder room, island base, or glazed front door can handle its weight better than a long dark hallway.

With LRV 15, the color absorbs light and rewards gloss or satin. Marble, walnut, and warm metal hardware keep it grown up.

Poseidon's Castle 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
