What color is Valspar UK Kentucky Bluegrass?

Valspar UK Kentucky Bluegrass R244A is a deep, saturated blue-green with a clear teal cast. Its dark value gives it real presence on a full wall, where it can read greener in warm daylight and a little bluer under cooler artificial light. Kentucky Bluegrass suits a study, dining room, or downstairs cloakroom, and makes particularly effective cabinetry against pale stone or white worktops. Pair it with warm off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, and muted clay accents to bring out the green side of this color. On exterior joinery or a front door, it offers a strong contrast to light brick and rendered walls.
