What color is Valspar UK Pond Blue?

Valspar UK Pond Blue X82R166C is a clear mid-tone blue with a noticeable green cast, giving it the look of softly weathered coastal glass. Its moderate depth keeps it lively on a full wall without becoming overly bright, while the blue-green character can appear cooler in north-facing rooms and slightly fresher in warm daylight. Use it in bathrooms, kitchens, or a home office where a defined wash of color suits the space. Pond Blue pairs well with chalky white trim, pale oak, light grey stone, and brushed nickel, while deep navy or charcoal accents add useful contrast. It also has enough presence for lower cabinetry, a painted door, or a garden-facing exterior detail.
