What color is Valspar UK Parrish Blue?

Valspar UK Parrish Blue X79R149B is a clear, medium-deep blue with a pronounced teal cast, based on its #00809c color value. Its saturated blue-green character gives it enough presence for a feature wall, kitchen island, or painted bathroom cabinetry. In bright daylight, the color should read cleaner and more vivid, while lower light is likely to draw out its deeper teal-blue side. Pair Parrish Blue with crisp white trim, pale grey, warm natural oak, or brushed brass for contrast. It also suits rooms with pale stone, linen textures, and simple black details that keep the palette grounded.
