What color is Valspar UK Lights at Sea?

Valspar UK Lights at Sea R156B is a clear, saturated teal with an almost even balance of blue and green. Its cool, clean character gives white-painted trim and pale neutrals a sharper contrast, while natural oak or woven rattan keeps the look grounded. In bright daylight, this shade reads vivid and aquatic; under warmer artificial light, its green side may become more noticeable. Use it on a feature wall, painted cabinetry, or a front door where its strong colour can hold its own. Pair Lights at Sea with soft off-white, charcoal, sandy beige, or brushed brass for a considered scheme.
