What color is Valspar UK Home and Hearth?

Valspar UK Home and Hearth X97R214D is a light, muted grey with a noticeable blue cast, shown here as #aeb5b6. Its low saturation keeps the color soft rather than icy, while the blue-grey undertone gives it a cool, clean read in most settings. On broad walls, it can create a quiet backdrop for pale oak, brushed nickel, white ceramics, and charcoal textiles. Daylight is likely to bring out its blue-grey character, while warmer artificial lighting may make it appear more neutral. Use Home and Hearth in bedrooms, bathrooms, or contemporary living spaces where a pale grey needs more character than an off-white.
