What color is Valspar UK Night Swim?

Valspar UK Night Swim X106R201A is a muted, mid-dark blue-grey with a noticeable teal cast. Its low saturation keeps it grounded rather than bright, giving walls a softened, inky appearance that can read slightly bluer in cool daylight and more charcoal-toned under warm lamps. Use it in a study, bathroom, hallway, or on kitchen cabinetry where a deeper colour will not overwhelm the room. Pale oak, brushed nickel, matte black hardware, off-white trim, and warm stone surfaces make considered companions for this shade.
