What color is Valspar UK Haiku Blue?

Valspar UK Haiku Blue R177F is a light, airy blue with a cool, gently aqua-leaning cast. Its pale depth keeps walls feeling open, particularly in bathrooms, bedrooms, and smaller rooms that benefit from a brighter backdrop. In north-facing daylight it reads cleaner and cooler, while warmer bulbs bring out a softer, slightly muted blue character. Pair Haiku Blue with crisp white trim, pale oak, limestone, or brushed nickel for a fresh, understated finish. It is especially effective across full walls or on fitted cabinetry where its low-key colour can define the surface without making it feel heavy.
