What color is Valspar UK True Teal?

Valspar UK True Teal X83R154B is a clear, saturated blue-green with a distinctly cool cast. Its #008f99 value gives it enough depth to read confidently on a feature wall, while still retaining a crisp, coloured presence rather than appearing near-black. In bright daylight, the blue-green character should look cleaner and more pronounced; lower light will make this shade appear deeper and slightly more muted. Use True Teal on kitchen cabinetry, a bathroom vanity, or one wall in a study where its colour can be balanced by warm white paint, pale oak, brass, or terracotta-toned accessories. For a sharper scheme, pair it with charcoal, black metal, and bright white trim.
