What color is Valspar UK Bandana Blue?

Valspar UK Bandana Blue X78R148A is a deep, saturated blue with a clear teal-leaning cast. Its cool character is most noticeable in daylight, where the green-blue undertone comes forward, while lower light makes it read darker and more inky. Use it on a study wall, bathroom cabinetry, or a single kitchen island for concentrated colour without covering an entire room. Pale oak, brushed nickel, crisp white tile, and soft grey-blue fabrics give this shade a clean, grounded setting. Bandana Blue also has enough depth for an exterior front door when paired with off-white render or light stone.
