What color is Valspar UK Ultramarine?

Valspar UK Ultramarine X112R231C is a mid-tone green with a clear blue cast, reading as a softened teal rather than a traditional navy-based ultramarine. Its moderate saturation gives it enough presence for a feature wall or painted cabinetry without making a room feel overly dark. In bright daylight, the blue-green character is likely to appear cleaner, while lower light can bring out its deeper, slightly muted side. Use Ultramarine in a bathroom, kitchen, or garden-facing room alongside warm white, pale oak, and brushed brass. For a stronger contrast, pair this shade with terracotta, clay pink, or rust-coloured textiles.
