Valspar

Surf Spray

5002-7B

Surf Spray is a light aqua blue with a fresh, watery feel. It is clearer than misty gray. Use it in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or coastal bedrooms where a little color belongs on the wall.

Bright daylight keeps it lively. Pair with white tile, pale oak, or polished chrome, and be careful beside tan carpet because the blue can look sweeter.

Surf Spray 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.
