What color is Valspar UK By the Seashore?

Valspar UK By the Seashore R153F is a light, cool blue with a clear aqua cast, close to the softened colour of sea glass. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the gentle blue-green tint gives it more presence than a pale neutral. In north-facing rooms it may read crisper and bluer, whereas warmer daylight can bring out its softer turquoise note. Use By the Seashore in bathrooms, bedrooms, or a light-filled kitchen, paired with chalky white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibres, and brushed nickel. For contrast, add muted navy accents or deep charcoal details rather than overly bright colours.
