What color is Valspar UK R and R?

Valspar UK R and R R168E is a light, clear blue-green with a cool aqua cast. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading as bright turquoise, giving walls a clean wash of colour without feeling overly icy. In north-facing rooms it may lean a little bluer, while warmer daylight and evening lamps can bring out its gentler green notes. Use R and R in bathrooms, utility rooms, or airy bedrooms, and pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, light grey stone, or brushed nickel. It also makes a fresh choice for painted cabinetry when balanced with warmer timber or off-white walls.
