Valspar

Rickrack

V068-5

Rickrack is a medium teal blue with a smoky green undertone. It has craft room energy without becoming childish. Save it on a bath vanity, laundry cabinets, or a casual office wall.

That depth gives the color strength, so balance it with lighter surfaces. For Rickrack, White tile plus oak. Warm bulbs make it greener. A clear white field helps.
