What color is Valspar UK Impressionist Blue?

Valspar UK Impressionist Blue L13dW25b is a deep blue with a pronounced blue-green cast, sitting close to a rich teal rather than a traditional navy. Its strong saturation gives walls clear definition, especially in rooms with white trim, pale stone, or light oak. In bright daylight, the green note becomes more noticeable; under warmer evening lighting, it reads deeper and more blue-led. Impressionist Blue suits a study, bathroom, or dining room feature wall, and can also bring character to painted cabinetry. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm brass, natural linen, and mid-toned wood to keep the colour grounded.
