Valspar
Sea Wave
5006-9C
On large walls, it can become the main event, so keep furnishings simple. White tile, natural cane, or warm brass work better than busy patterns. In very bright rooms, check that the color still feels refreshing rather than too bright.

Sea Wave 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
57.5LRV 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.
