What color is Valspar UK Mermaid Tail?

Valspar UK Mermaid Tail X81R165C is a clear mid-tone blue-green with a noticeable aqua cast. Its #4fa4b8 colour value gives it a fresh, moderately saturated look that sits closer to turquoise than to a deep teal. In bright daylight, Mermaid Tail reads crisp and aquatic, while warmer artificial light can bring out a slightly softer, greener impression. It suits bathroom walls, a coastal-inspired kitchen island, or painted shelving where a distinct shot of colour is wanted. Pair it with clean white, pale sand, light oak, woven natural fibres, or charcoal details for contrast.
