Valspar

Seafarer

5007-10A

Valspar Seafarer is a medium teal with a strong green-blue balance. Its mid-depth teal can anchor a vanity without swallowing the room. Use it on kitchen islands, bathroom vanities, exterior doors, or a sunroom wall where color can anchor the space.

The shade looks cleaner in daylight and moodier after dark. Let warm white, pale stone, or black hardware do the grounding. Heavy wood tones, the green side may become more pronounced.

Seafarer 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.
