What color is Valspar UK Neptune's Castle?

Valspar UK Neptune's Castle R241A is a deep blue-green with a clear teal cast, sitting closer to shaded sea glass than to a bright turquoise. Its low-light depth gives it a substantial presence on walls, while the green note keeps it from reading as purely navy. In daylight, this color can show more of its cool blue-green character; under warm evening lighting, it appears darker and slightly more muted. Use Neptune's Castle on a dining room wall, built-in shelving, or painted cabinetry where its richness can anchor pale oak, warm brass, off-white, and natural linen. For a sharper contrast, pair it with chalky white trim or softly veined pale stone.
