Valspar

September Sea

M322

Valspar September Sea is a deep gray-green teal with a smoky blue undertone. The smoky teal-green depth suits built-ins and lamp-lit studies. Use it on cabinets, built-ins, exterior doors, or a compact study where a darker color can anchor the room.

In shade, it can look nearly charcoal green. Plan around cream trim, brass, or pale travertine. If used on every wall, plan enough lamps to keep the color alive.
