What color is Valspar UK Midnight Serenade?

Valspar UK Midnight Serenade X102R211A is a deep, muted blue-grey with a noticeably cool cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded rather than overtly navy, giving walls a quiet, smoky definition. In bright daylight, the grey element is more apparent, while lower or warmer lighting can draw out its darker blue-green edge. Use Midnight Serenade on a study, dining room, hallway, or fitted cabinetry where a darker finish can add structure without reading as black. Pair it with chalky off-whites, pale stone, weathered oak, brushed nickel, or blackened metal for a clean, considered contrast.
