What color is Valspar UK Arctic Sunrise?

Valspar UK Arctic Sunrise X82R166E is a light, clear blue with a noticeable aqua cast, sitting closer to a softened sky blue than a green-heavy turquoise. Its cool character is bright enough for smaller rooms, while the muted quality of #98d4e0 keeps it from looking overly sharp on broad walls. In daylight, Arctic Sunrise reads fresher and bluer; under warmer evening lighting, its gentle cyan undertone becomes more apparent. Use it in bathrooms, kitchens or a child’s room alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel and soft grey textiles. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper navy details or charcoal accents rather than heavily warm colours.
