Valspar

Sea Star

8003-39C

Valspar Sea Star is a softened aqua-gray carrying a blue cast. It feels washed and quiet. Bedrooms, baths, and living rooms gain more interest than pale gray would offer.

On full walls, the blue-green note becomes easier to see. Warm white trim, driftwood tones, or dark charcoal accents suit it. Strong yellow creams can dirty the color, so keep nearby whites softer and cleaner.

Sea Star 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.
