What color is Valspar UK Deep Galaxy?

Valspar UK Deep Galaxy R174A is a muted, mid-to-dark blue with a noticeable slate-grey cast and a restrained teal edge. Its depth makes it especially effective in studies, dining rooms, hallways, or on kitchen cabinetry where a stronger color can add definition without reading as overly bright. In cool daylight, Deep Galaxy can appear crisper and bluer, while warmer artificial light tends to draw out its softer grey-green undertone. Pair it with chalky whites, pale stone, warm oak, aged brass, or brushed nickel for a grounded interior scheme. It also suits exterior doors and painted woodwork when set against light brick, cream render, or weathered timber.
