Valspar

Wet Seal

T681

Wet Seal is a deep stormy blue-gray with a cool, weathered cast. It has more color than plain charcoal. Cabinets, built-ins, doors, or a compact bedroom can carry this blue well.

Around LRV 25, treat it as deep and give it lighter surfaces. Brushed nickel, pale stone, or cream walls suit it. Warm wood prevents a chilly finish. Satin helps doors.

Wet Seal 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.

White

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.
