What color is Valspar UK Mythical Nights?

Valspar UK Mythical Nights R198A is a deep, muted blue-grey with a distinctly cool cast. Its low-saturation character keeps it grounded rather than bright, making it well suited to a study, hallway, or bedroom where darker walls can add definition. In daylight, this shade reads as a softened slate blue, while warmer evening lighting can bring forward its greyed, slightly charcoal-like quality. Use it on all four walls for a close, enveloping look, or on cabinetry and interior doors against off-white walls. Pale oak, brushed nickel, black metal, and chalky white textiles give Mythical Nights a clean, considered contrast.
