What color is Valspar UK Cornwall Blue?

Valspar UK Cornwall Blue X76R162C is a mid-tone blue with a softened, slightly greyed finish that keeps it from feeling overly bright. Its blue base carries a subtle cool, aquatic cast, making it especially effective in rooms with clean daylight. On broad walls, Cornwall Blue can give kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms a calm but clearly defined wash of color; in lower light, it will read deeper and more muted. Pair it with warm off-whites, pale oak, limestone, or brushed brass to prevent the coolness from becoming stark. It also has enough depth for painted cabinetry, a front door, or a single accent wall.
