Valspar

Rugged Teal

V104-6

Valspar Rugged Teal is a deep blue-green with strong teal character and real shadow. Its low LRV makes it best where shadow feels planned. It can look almost charcoal in a dim hallway, then open into green-blue near a window.

Consider it for a bathroom vanity, kitchen island, front door, or paneled office. Warm metals bring out the green side. Crisp white trim makes the color sharper, but cream trim gives it a more vintage feel.

Rugged Teal 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.
