What color is Valspar UK Fleet Street?

Valspar UK Fleet Street R175A is a deep blue with a distinct teal cast, sitting between classic navy and weathered harbour blue. Its cool base gives it a clean, grounded look, while the green-blue undertone keeps it from reading as overly inky. On a full wall, Fleet Street can give a study, dining room, or north-facing bedroom a strong, enveloping finish; in brighter spaces, its blue-green character becomes clearer. It is particularly effective on kitchen cabinetry, fitted shelving, or a front door alongside pale stone, warm oak, aged brass, and soft off-whites. Pair it with muted clay or dusty pink accents if you want to bring out the contrast without making the scheme feel sharp.
