What color is Valspar UK Gotham City?

Valspar UK Gotham City X97R214B is a muted mid-tone grey with a cool blue-green cast, shown here as #6d7475. Its low saturation keeps it close to neutral, while the darker value gives walls a grounded, slightly industrial presence. In clear daylight, the blue-grey aspect is more noticeable; under warm lamps, it can read as a softened charcoal grey. Use it on a study, hallway, kitchen cabinetry, or exterior trim where a deeper neutral is wanted without going fully black. Pair Gotham City with chalky white, pale stone, brushed steel, black hardware, and light oak for a clean contrast.
