What color is Valspar UK Bottlenose Dolphin?

Valspar UK Bottlenose Dolphin X100R209B is a muted blue-grey with a mid-to-deep depth and a softly weathered appearance. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded, reading as a charcoal-leaning grey in low light while the blue cast becomes clearer in brighter daylight.

Bottlenose Dolphin also suits painted cabinetry, especially alongside pale stone worktops, brushed nickel, black hardware, and natural oak. Pair it with off-whites, soft greige, dusty blue, or warm timber tones to keep the scheme considered rather than cold.
