What color is Valspar UK Meteor Dust?

Valspar UK Meteor Dust X134R281E is a pale, muted green-grey with a soft, lightly cool cast. Its low saturation keeps the color quiet on large walls, where it reads as a gentle off-grey softened by a hint of sage. In daylight, the green undertone is likely to be more noticeable, while warmer artificial lighting can make it appear more neutral and slightly softer. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and calm living spaces, particularly alongside warm white trim, pale oak, limestone, or brushed nickel. For more contrast, pair Meteor Dust with deep charcoal, inky blue-grey, or a dark olive on cabinetry or smaller architectural details.
