What color is Valspar UK Setting Sail?

Valspar UK Setting Sail X82R166D is a clear mid-tone blue with a soft aqua cast, based on its #78c0cd color value. It reads cool and gently muted rather than sharply bright, making it a useful choice for broad wall areas in bathrooms, bedrooms, or light-filled living spaces. In daylight, the blue-green note is likely to appear cleaner and more open, while warmer evening lighting can soften its crispness. Pair Setting Sail with chalky white trim, pale grey, natural oak, or woven linen for a relaxed, lightly coastal look. It also has enough color presence for painted cabinetry or a single feature wall without making the room feel overly dark.
