What color is Valspar UK Tip of the Iceberg?

Valspar UK Tip of the Iceberg R245F is a light, softly muted blue-green with a clear minty cast.

It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and light-filled kitchens, especially alongside white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or matte black details. Pair Tip of the Iceberg with chalky whites and sandy neutrals for a quiet scheme, or add deeper teal and forest-green accents for more contrast.
