Valspar

Sea Swell

5008-10C

Valspar Sea Swell is a saturated green-teal with a bright, watery core. It is deeper than expected. Use it on cabinets, a front door, or a compact bath where bold color feels planned.

In shade, the depth increases quickly. White tile, brass, or limestone give it breathing room. Because the chroma is high, keep nearby wall colors simple and test beside patterned counters before committing.

Sea Swell 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.
