What color is Valspar UK Deep Space Echo?

Valspar UK Deep Space Echo L17cW35c is a deep charcoal grey with a restrained blue cast, based on its #383d42 value. It reads as a cool, low-saturation neutral rather than a true black, so it retains visible definition on broad wall areas. In bright daylight, the blue-grey character is likely to show more clearly, while lower light will make the shade appear darker and closer to graphite. Use it for a study, dining room, hallway, or fitted cabinetry where a grounded dark tone is wanted. Pale oak, brushed steel, off-white trim, soft grey textiles, and muted blue accents provide clear, considered contrast.
