What color is Valspar UK Easy on the Eyes?

Valspar UK Easy on the Eyes R173E is a light, softened blue with a noticeable grey cast that keeps it from looking sugary or overly bright. Its cool blue character is most apparent in clear daylight, while lower or warmer artificial light can bring out its muted, slightly silvery quality. This shade suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices where a pale wall color is wanted without the starkness of white. Pair Easy on the Eyes with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal details for a clean, grounded scheme. It can also make understated cabinetry or a ceiling feel lighter while retaining enough color to be distinct from neutral grey.
