What color is Valspar UK Palace Gates?

Valspar UK Palace Gates W45b is a deep, muted green-grey with a distinctly earthy cast. Its low saturation keeps the color restrained, while the subtle olive undertone stops it from reading as a flat charcoal. In bright daylight, Palace Gates can appear a little greener; under warm lamps, it settles into a softer, near-black khaki grey. It has enough depth for kitchen cabinets, interior doors, or a study wall, especially alongside pale stone, warm white paint, and natural oak. For a sharper contrast, pair this shade with aged brass hardware or chalky off-white trim.
