What color is Valspar UK Sail the Seas?

Valspar UK Sail the Seas R156C is a clear, medium-depth blue-green with a bright turquoise cast. Its cool lean is softened by enough green to keep it from reading as a purely aquatic blue, giving walls a fresh, clean dose of color. In strong daylight, Sail the Seas can appear more vivid and breezy, while lower or warmer light tends to bring out its deeper teal side. Use it for a bathroom wall, a painted kitchen island, or a lively front door, pairing it with crisp white, pale sand, light oak, and brushed brass. For a more graphic scheme, set this shade against deep navy or charcoal details.
