Valspar

Tidal Teal

5006-8B

Valspar Tidal Teal is a deep teal with a balanced blue green base. Saturated but controlled. Cabinets, a powder room, or an exterior door work well where color should anchor the palette.

At LRV 26, treat it as deep. Warm white, brass, or walnut can support it, and the room needs enough light to keep the teal visible after dusk.

Tidal Teal 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.
