What color is Valspar UK Forest Shadows?

Valspar UK Forest Shadows X126R243A is a deep blue-green with a clear teal cast, sitting on the cooler side of the palette. Its strength is fairly rich rather than muted, so it reads as a purposeful wall color even in a larger room. In bright daylight, the green element is likely to appear more pronounced, while lower light can bring out its darker, bluer depth. Use Forest Shadows on cabinetry, a dining room wall, or a shaded hallway where its depth can add definition without looking black. Pair it with soft chalky whites, pale oak, brushed brass, or warm terracotta accents to give the cool green a grounded contrast.
