What color is Valspar UK Cerulean Skies?

Valspar UK Cerulean Skies R177D is a light-to-mid blue with a cool, gently aqua cast. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading too bright, making it a practical option for larger wall areas in bathrooms, bedrooms, or light-filled kitchens. In clear daylight, Cerulean Skies shows its fresher blue-green character, while warmer artificial lighting can make it appear slightly more muted. Pair it with crisp white trim and pale oak for a clean, airy scheme, or add charcoal, brushed nickel, and deep navy accents for more contrast. It also has enough presence for painted cabinetry or a front door where a calm but noticeable blue is wanted.
