Valspar

Sea Breath

5006-7A

Valspar Sea Breath is a pale aqua with a crisp blue-green tint. The pale aqua cast works best beside clean tile and clear daylight. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, or on a porch ceiling where a watery color makes sense.

The high lightness keeps it airy, but the aqua still shows on full walls. White tile, pale wood, or brushed nickel help it clean. Warm beige floors can make the blue-green side stand out more.

Sea Breath 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.
