What color is Valspar UK Sailing by Moonlight?

Valspar UK Sailing by Moonlight X82R166A is a deep blue-green with a clear teal cast and strong, mid-to-dark saturation. It reads cooler than a classic turquoise, bringing noticeable depth to a wall without appearing blackened or overly muted. In brighter daylight, its blue-green character is more apparent, while lower light can make it look richer and more shaded. Use it on a feature wall, painted cabinetry, or a front door where its concentrated colour can hold its own. Pale oak, warm white, sandy beige, brushed brass, and off-white ceramics provide a grounded contrast, while charcoal details give this shade a sharper, more graphic edge.
