What color is Valspar UK Blue Fringe?

Valspar UK Blue Fringe L15cW31d is a deep, muted blue with a noticeable slate-grey cast and a cool blue-green edge. Its low brightness gives it weight on walls, especially in studies, dining rooms, hallways, or bedrooms with ample daylight. In bright natural light, Blue Fringe reads as a softened blue-grey; under warm lamps, its charcoal-like depth becomes more apparent. Pair it with chalky white trim, pale grey stone, warm oak, aged brass, or brushed nickel to keep the palette grounded. It is particularly effective on cabinetry, a feature wall, or exterior joinery where a dark but not black finish is wanted.
