Valspar

Sea Turtle

8003-27G

Valspar Sea Turtle is a dark olive brown with a mossy yellow-green cast. It feels earthy and dense. A painted entry, cabinetry, stair rail, or small den can handle it with warm lighting.

In shadow, it can look almost brown-black. Choose cream, natural leather, or aged brass around it. Cool gray walls nearby need a test board because the olive may look muddy by comparison.

Sea Turtle 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.
