What color is Valspar UK Deep Water?

Valspar UK Deep Water W42d is a deep blue-green with a cool, shaded character and enough green to keep it from reading as a straightforward navy. On larger walls, it creates a strong backdrop for pale plaster, warm white trim, and light oak furniture. In bright daylight, its teal cast is more noticeable, while lower light brings out its darker, more muted side. Use Deep Water on a study wall, kitchen cabinetry, or a downstairs cloakroom where a rich colour can feel intentional rather than overpowering. Brass fittings, natural linen, terracotta accents, and creamy neutral paintwork give this shade useful warmth and contrast.
