Valspar

Sea Crest

M324

Valspar Sea Crest is a deep teal blue with a green undertone and smoky depth. It is rich. The shade suits vanities, built-ins, exterior doors, and small studies with layered lighting.

In shade, it can approach charcoal teal. Warm white, brass, or limestone fit the base color. If the room already has blue-green tile, compare carefully because close teal matches can look slightly off once painted.

Sea Crest 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.
