What color is Valspar UK Big Sky Country?

Valspar UK Big Sky Country X94R178E is a light, muted blue with a clear grey-green cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or icy. Its soft coolness suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and north-facing rooms where a pale colour can bring a little brightness without appearing stark. In strong daylight, this shade will show its airy blue side more clearly, while lower or warmer artificial light may draw out its subdued grey undertone. Pair it with chalky white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft stone finishes for a clean, understated scheme. Big Sky Country also makes a considered option for kitchen cabinetry or a single painted alcove when surrounded by warmer neutral walls.
