What color is Valspar UK Coastal Waters?

Valspar UK Coastal Waters R152A is a deep blue-green with a distinctly cool, saturated appearance. Its #006c7c value gives it enough depth to read as strong and architectural on a full wall, while the teal cast keeps it from feeling like a straightforward navy. In bright daylight, the blue-green character is clearer; in lower or warmer light, it can appear darker and more blue-led. Use Coastal Waters on bathroom walls, built-in cabinetry, or a dining-room accent wall where its richness has room to show. Pair it with crisp white paint, pale grey stone, light oak, brushed nickel, or warm brass for contrast.
