Valspar

Tropical Oasis

5004-8B

Tropical Oasis is a deep teal with more green than navy and more restraint than turquoise. It likes definition. Use it on bathroom vanities, built-ins, or compact office walls where the color can wrap the space.

Warm metals bring out the green side. With a dark value, it needs light counters, pale tile, or bright art nearby. If used outside, sample in full sun because the blue can sharpen.

Tropical Oasis 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.
