Valspar

Sea Grove

T698

Valspar Sea Grove is a dark gray-green with very low saturation. The green is barely there. It suits cabinets, interior doors, exterior trim, and offices that need a softened charcoal.

Because it sits dark, it needs contrast from counters, walls, or trim. Choose warm white, soapstone, or brushed brass for balance. In rooms with little natural light, it can lose the green note and read as deep gray.

Sea Grove 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.
