What color is Valspar UK Ocean Obsession?

Valspar UK Ocean Obsession X121R254A is a deep, muted blue-green with a smoked, greyed cast rather than a bright teal finish. Its low-lightness character gives walls noticeable depth, reading close to charcoal green in dim corners while showing more of its blue-green tone in clear daylight. Use Ocean Obsession in studies, dining rooms, or bathrooms where a darker wall color can define the room without appearing black. It is particularly effective on cabinetry or a single fitted unit alongside pale oak, brushed brass, warm off-white, and soft stone finishes. For contrast, pair this shade with chalky creams or light clay tones rather than stark pure white.
