What color is Valspar UK Cheerio?

Valspar UK Cheerio R151D is a clear, mid-light blue with a noticeable aqua cast, sitting on the cooler side of the spectrum without looking icy. Its fairly clean saturation gives walls a fresh, defined colour presence, especially in rooms with plenty of daylight. In warmer artificial light, Cheerio may appear a little softer and bluer, while cooler daylight brings out its turquoise-leaning character. It suits bathrooms, utility rooms, children’s spaces, or a bright kitchen island, paired with crisp white, pale grey, light oak, and brushed nickel. For a stronger contrast, use this shade alongside deep navy details or warm terracotta accessories.
