What color is Valspar UK Caviar?

Valspar UK Caviar W47c is a deep charcoal green with a restrained, low-saturation appearance. Its #3e413e value reads almost black in dim rooms, while daylight brings out the subtle green-grey cast that keeps it from looking flat. Use Caviar on cabinetry, interior doors, or a single wall where a dark finish will add definition without the sharper contrast of true black. It pairs particularly well with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and natural stone with grey or beige veining. In north-facing light, this shade can appear cooler and more graphite-like; warmer bulbs make its muted green character easier to see.
