What color is Valspar UK Keep Calm?

Valspar UK Keep Calm X136R267D is a muted blue-green with a soft grey cast that keeps it from reading overly pastel.

It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quieter living spaces, particularly alongside off-white trim, pale oak, linen, and brushed nickel. For contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal, ink blue, or warm terracotta details.
