What color is Valspar UK Diamond Dust?

Valspar UK Diamond Dust L14eW29e is a very pale, cool off-white with a soft green-blue cast that keeps it from reading as plain white. Its high lightness makes it especially useful for brightening walls while still giving the room a lightly tinted finish. In daylight, Diamond Dust can appear crisp and airy, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its gentle grey-green side. It suits bathrooms, utility rooms, bedrooms, and north-facing spaces where a clean, light-reflecting color is wanted. Pair it with chalky white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, cool grey stone, or muted sage and blue accents.
