What color is Valspar UK Ol' Blue Eyes?

Valspar UK Ol' Blue Eyes X106R201B is a muted blue-grey with a gentle teal cast, sitting at a medium depth rather than reading as pale or dramatic. Its softened saturation keeps the colour grounded, so it can bring definition to a room without making the walls feel overly cool. In bright daylight, the blue notes are clearer, while lower or warmer lighting may draw out its grey-green edge. Use Ol' Blue Eyes on a study, bathroom, or kitchen cabinetry with warm white trim, natural oak, brushed brass, and stone surfaces. For contrast, pair it with clay-toned accessories or deep charcoal details rather than another icy blue.
