What color is Valspar UK Made in the Shade?

Valspar UK Made in the Shade X98R215D is a muted blue-grey with a soft, mid-light depth and a distinctly cool cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overtly blue, instead giving walls a gently weathered grey appearance that can shift bluer in daylight. In rooms with warmer artificial lighting, this shade may look more neutral and slightly softer. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices where a calm, restrained backdrop is wanted, and also has enough presence for painted cabinetry. Pair Made in the Shade with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal details, or warm off-white textiles to bring out its subtle blue-grey character.
