What color is Valspar UK Mediterranean Dusk?

Valspar UK Mediterranean Dusk R268D is a soft, muted grey-green with a lightly cool cast and low saturation. Its blue-green undertone is most noticeable in daylight, while warmer artificial light can bring forward the gentle grey in the color. Mediterranean Dusk suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living spaces where a pale wall color is wanted without moving into plain grey or white. Pair it with chalky off-whites, weathered oak, brushed nickel, and natural linen for a restrained, layered finish. It can also give painted cabinetry a subtle color note, especially alongside pale stone or white worktops.
