What color is Valspar UK Deep Aqua?

Valspar UK Deep Aqua W38d is a saturated blue-green with a clear teal character, sitting closer to green than a navy-based aqua. Its #00947b value gives it a medium-deep appearance that feels crisp in daylight and noticeably richer in lower light. Use it on a bathroom wall, kitchen cabinetry, or a single painted alcove where its colour can take centre stage without covering an entire room. Pale warm whites, sandy beige, light oak, and brushed brass provide a grounded contrast, while charcoal or deep navy can create a sharper, more graphic scheme. Deep Aqua also suits exterior details such as a front door or garden joinery, especially alongside natural stone or off-white render.
