What color is Valspar UK Deep Loch?

Valspar UK Deep Loch R266A is a deep, muted blue-green with a noticeable grey cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its low-light character makes it particularly effective on cabinetry, a study wall, or a dining room where a darker backdrop is wanted. In daylight, the blue-green element becomes clearer, while warmer artificial lighting can bring out its softer charcoal quality. Pair Deep Loch with chalky off-whites, weathered oak, blackened metal, or warm tan leather to give the color definition. Used on all four walls, it suits rooms with good natural light; in smaller spaces, it can make a strong accent behind shelving or a headboard.
