Valspar

Sprinkle

5008-9A

Sprinkle is a bright pale aqua with a clean mint-blue direction. It feels playful. Use it in a bath, laundry room, or porch ceiling where the space can handle a fresh tint.

On large walls, it will read more colorful than a white-adjacent sample. Crisp trim keeps the edge clean. Warm cane or pale oak relaxes it. Cream tile may dull the aqua, so compare before painting.

Sprinkle 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.
