What color is Valspar UK Cerulean Sea?

Valspar UK Cerulean Sea X109R217B is a deep blue-green with a clear teal character and strong, clean saturation. Its cool cast makes it especially effective in bathrooms, utility rooms, or kitchens where white sanitaryware and pale stone can sharpen the contrast. In bright daylight, the green-blue balance reads clearly, while lower light brings out its darker, more inky side. Use it on cabinetry, a single painted wall, or a front door with warm off-whites, natural oak, brushed brass, and muted clay tones to keep the scheme grounded.
