What color is Valspar UK Blue Puddle?

Valspar UK Blue Puddle X122R255B is a muted blue-green with a noticeable grey cast, giving it a grounded, mid-depth appearance rather than a bright teal look. Its green influence is most apparent in daylight, while lower or warmer lighting can draw out its softer charcoal-blue side. Use it on living-room walls, a study, or painted cabinetry where a calm but defined colour is wanted. Pale oak, limestone, brushed nickel, and off-white trim provide clean contrast, while clay tones and muted terracotta add welcome warmth. Blue Puddle also has enough depth for a front door or garden-facing exterior detail, particularly alongside light masonry or warm natural timber.
