5. Everglade Deck - Valspar
Everglade Deck is all about restoration. This deep teal will liven up plain walls while elevating the surrounding design.

Painting this sea green on a piece of furniture, like a dresser or a console, would provide a pretty pop in an otherwise neutral room. But the color is sophisticated enough to cover every wall (and even the ceiling!) without feeling overpowering — it's saturated and soothing all at once. Pair it with warm neutrals like beige or cream for an instant relaxing and cozy vibe.
