What color is Valspar UK Icy Fresh?

Valspar UK Icy Fresh R152F is a light, cool blue with a gentle aqua cast, giving it a clean, water-washed appearance. Its high lightness keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the soft saturation prevents it from reading as overly bright or icy. In north-facing rooms it may appear a little crisper and bluer, whereas warmer daylight can bring out its faint minty-blue edge. Use Icy Fresh in bathrooms, kitchens, children’s rooms, or a bright home office, paired with white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft grey textiles. For more contrast, add deep navy, charcoal, or muted terracotta accents.
