What color is Valspar UK Blue Topaz?

Valspar UK Blue Topaz X76R162D is a light, clear blue with a cool cast and a gentle hint of aqua. Its mid-light depth keeps it visible on a full wall without making a room feel heavily coloured. In bright daylight, Blue Topaz reads fresher and cleaner, while lower light can bring out its softer grey-blue side. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, utility rooms, and north-facing spaces that benefit from a crisp note of colour. Pair it with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft grey textiles, or use it on cabinetry against warmer off-white walls.
