What color is Valspar UK Magical Malachite?

Valspar UK Magical Malachite R156A is a deep, saturated teal with a closely balanced blue and green character. Its #008482 value gives it a cool-leaning, medium-dark presence that reads clean and vivid rather than muted. On a full wall, it can bring definition to a bathroom, dining room, or snug, while on cabinetry it makes a crisp statement beside pale stone or brushed brass. In cooler daylight, the blue side may feel more prominent; warmer artificial light can draw out its green notes. Pair Magical Malachite with soft off-white, warm oak, sandy neutrals, or charcoal for contrast without competing with the color.
