Valspar

Sunlit Sea

M323

Sunlit Sea is a pale green with a soft gray veil, more sea glass than mint candy. It stays relaxed. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, or cabinetry when you want color that still behaves quietly.

The green can look fresher near white tile and more muted beside beige carpet. Pair with polished nickel, pale oak, or a warm white ceiling.

Sunlit Sea 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.
