Valspar

Turquoise Tint

5006-10B

Turquoise Tint is a clear blue green with plenty of chroma, deeper than the word tint suggests. That blue-green intensity needs white tile, pale counters, or open shelving around it. A powder bath, painted cabinet, laundry room, or porch accent can handle this kind of watery color.

At LRV 34, it still needs balancing whites. Warm wood keeps the color from feeling too pool-house bright. Test near beige tile.

Turquoise Tint 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.
