What color is Valspar UK Flock of Seagulls?

Valspar UK Flock of Seagulls R213D is a light, muted blue-grey with a gently cool cast. Its low-saturation character keeps it soft rather than icy, making it a useful alternative to a plain pale grey on larger walls. In daylight, the blue-grey note is most apparent, while warmer artificial lighting can draw it closer to a subdued neutral grey. Use this color in bedrooms, bathrooms, or a quiet home office with crisp white trim, pale oak, and brushed nickel details. For more contrast, pair Flock of Seagulls with charcoal accents or deep navy textiles.
