Valspar

Teal Tonic

M304

Valspar Teal Tonic is a deep blue green gray, muted enough for built-ins and doors. The teal is controlled. It works well in a study, bath vanity, or exterior palette with creamy trim.

Because it sits below 30 LRV, treat it as deep and give it contrast. Brass, walnut, or soapstone suit the color, and millwork samples should include sheen.

Teal Tonic 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.
