A match of Valspar 5006-9C Sea Wave is a light blue-green with a cool direction and a softened, slightly gray cast. It reads cleaner than a deep teal but less bright than a clear aqua, with enough restraint to stay calm on small parts and hardware.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on sprayable items such as PVC pipe, vent covers, speaker grilles, switch plates, shelf brackets, railings, mailboxes, frames, and appliance or furniture accents. It is a practical choice when a light blue-green needs to be carried across removable parts, trim details, or utility components that are easier to finish with spray application than with a brush.

Because this is a light color, coverage may show through more readily over dark, uneven, or patchy substrates, so surface prep and even film build matter. Finish can also change the read of the color; glossier application may make the blue-green look clearer, while a flatter finish can soften it further and bring out the muted cast.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ 5006-9C Sea Wave *

How do I confirm that Valspar 5006-9C Sea Wave is the right color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm Valspar 5006-9C Sea Wave from a physical swatch or another known existing color reference from the original brand, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the order should be based on the target color you have verified.

If you only have a photo or digital image, compare it to a real sample before placing the order.

Which sheen should I choose for MyPerfectColor matched to Valspar 5006-9C Sea Wave?

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, not just on the color name. Higher sheen finishes are usually easier to wipe clean and more durable-looking, but they also reflect more light and can make Valspar 5006-9C Sea Wave read differently on the finished item. Lower sheen finishes hide surface variation better and reduce reflection.

If you are coating a small part, fixture, or accessory, match the sheen to the surface and wear level you expect after installation.

What dry time should I expect for MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Valspar 5006-9C Sea Wave?

For spray paint matched to Valspar 5006-9C Sea Wave, dry-to-touch is usually within minutes, recoating should be done in about 1 to 2 hours, and full curing takes about two weeks. These are different stages, so a coating that feels dry is not necessarily ready for heavy handling or assembly.

If the part will be installed or put into service soon after painting, plan around the full cure time so the finish has time to harden.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to Valspar 5006-9C Sea Wave?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Valspar 5006-9C Sea Wave color name by itself. For the selected color, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm

Check the SDS for the exact product format you are ordering.

Why can Valspar 5006-9C Sea Wave look different after application even when the MyPerfectColor match is correct?

Even when the color match is correct, Valspar 5006-9C Sea Wave can look different after application because lighting, placement, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces all affect how the finished part reads. This is especially important on items installed beside older painted surfaces or in strong direct light.

If the part is visible next to an existing finish, review it in the actual location before you complete the whole project.
