What color is Valspar UK Indigo Flame?

Valspar UK Indigo Flame W26d is a mid-depth blue with a clear, slightly softened character rather than an inky or near-black finish. Its #385d9a value reads cool overall, with enough brightness to keep it visible on a full wall in good daylight. Use Indigo Flame in a study, hallway, or bedroom where a stronger blue can define the room without making every surface feel heavy. It pairs neatly with crisp white trim, pale grey-blue textiles, light oak, and brushed nickel or chrome details. For a more concentrated use, this shade would also suit lower cabinetry, a bookcase backing, or a painted front door.
