What color is Valspar UK Liquid Blue?

Valspar UK Liquid Blue R175F is a pale, clear blue with a lightly softened, airy appearance. Its high lightness keeps it from feeling heavy, while the blue-green edge in the colour gives it a clean, cool cast rather than a greyed-out look. In bright daylight, Liquid Blue can appear crisp and lightly luminous; under warmer artificial light, it may read a little gentler and less icy. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms and north-facing rooms where a fresh wall colour can help open up the space. Pair it with chalky white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel or soft grey textiles, or use it on cabinetry for a quiet wash of colour against white walls.
