What color is Valspar UK Dolphin Pool?

Valspar UK Dolphin Pool R245C is a mid-tone green with a noticeable blue cast, giving it the look of softened sea glass rather than a leafy botanical green. Its muted saturation keeps the color grounded, while the blue-green undertone can appear cooler in north-facing rooms and slightly greener in warmer afternoon light. Use Dolphin Pool on a bathroom wall, kitchen cabinetry, or a painted bookcase where its colour has enough depth to define the surface without making it feel heavy. It pairs well with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, brushed brass, and charcoal-grey details. For a more layered scheme, combine this shade with clay-toned accessories or deeper blue-green accents.
