What color is Valspar UK Blue Tea?

Valspar UK Blue Tea X106R201C is a muted blue-grey with a gently cool cast and enough softness to avoid looking stark. Its medium-light depth makes it well suited to larger wall areas in bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet reading corners. In bright daylight, Blue Tea can read as a clearer dusty blue, while lower or warmer lighting brings forward its greyed, slightly softened character. Pair it with chalky whites, pale oak, brushed nickel, and stone finishes for a calm, lightly coastal look without leaning overly nautical. It also makes a considered choice for painted cabinetry when balanced with warmer flooring or natural wood details.
