Valspar

Turkish Tile

M229

Turkish Tile is a dark blue teal with the snap of glazed ceramic. Use its low LRV like a jewel tone, not a breezy aqua. A front door, bath vanity, island, or bookcase back can carry it when the rest of the palette stays disciplined.

Its LRV rounds to 8, so it will read quite dark indoors. Daylight reveals the blue-green color. Brass hardware and warm white tile keep it from feeling too cold.

Turkish Tile 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.
