What color is Valspar UK Sea Crest?

Valspar UK Sea Crest X94R178B is a muted blue-green with a cool, slightly greyed cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its mid-to-deep tone gives walls clear definition, especially in bathrooms, home offices, and north-facing rooms that benefit from a richer colour. In daylight, Sea Crest reads as a restrained teal, while warmer evening lighting can bring out its softer green notes. Pair it with chalky white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or warm clay accents to prevent the scheme from feeling overly cool. It is particularly effective on cabinetry or a single recessed wall where its depth can be appreciated without darkening the whole room.
