Valspar

Sultry Bay

V103-5

Sultry Bay lands between deep teal and weathered blue green, with enough gray to keep it adult. Not bright coastal teal. On built-ins or a library wall, the color feels substantial beside oak shelves and aged leather.

Shaded rooms will make it read nearly charcoal unless lamps wash the surface. Choose satin for cabinets or doors, because dark blue green paint shows dust and fingerprints faster in dead-flat finishes.

Sultry Bay 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 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.
