What color is Valspar UK Jester Blue?

Valspar UK Jester Blue X81R165B is a mid-depth blue with a clear blue-green cast that keeps it cooler than a classic navy. Its fairly strong saturation gives it presence on a feature wall, painted bookcase, or kitchen island without reading overly dark. In bright daylight, this color appears fresher and slightly more turquoise; under warmer evening lighting, it settles into a deeper, more muted blue. Pair Jester Blue with soft off-whites, pale oak, brushed brass, or warm tan leather to bring out its clean, coastal-leaning character. It can also give a bathroom or utility room a crisp dose of color when balanced with simple white tiles.
