Valspar

Totally Teal

V029-3

Totally Teal is a dark teal blue with real saturation, not a dusty coastal aqua. Cabinets can carry it well. On walls, it feels strongest in a small bath, bar area, or moody office with controlled lighting.

The color sharpens beside clean white tile and turns richer next to unlacquered brass. Around LRV 12, flat finishes can go heavy fast. Use some sheen on millwork.

Totally 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.
