Valspar

Sparkling Lake

5002-3B

Sparkling Lake is a muted blue-green softened toward gray, with a watery cast. The watery blue-green base suits tile-heavy baths and islands. Bathrooms, bedrooms, or a kitchen island can use its freshness without bright turquoise.

In shade, it becomes more gray. Daylight brings the blue-green forward. Pair with white tile, pale oak, or brushed nickel. Test beside cream counters, because they can make the color feel less clear.
