What color is Valspar UK Naval Night?

Valspar UK Naval Night X97R214A is a deep, muted blue-grey with a noticeably softened, near-charcoal character. Its low saturation keeps the color restrained rather than overtly navy, while the slight cool cast becomes clearer in daylight. In dimmer rooms, Naval Night can read almost like a dark graphite grey, making it particularly effective for a study, hallway, or media room. Use it on cabinetry, interior doors, or a single wall with warm white paint, pale oak, aged brass, and natural linen to bring out its subtle blue-grey tone.
