What color is Valspar UK Pan's Flute?

Valspar UK Pan's Flute R287F is a pale, low-saturation off-white with a soft grey-beige cast. Its slight yellowed warmth keeps it from reading as stark white, while the muted grey element gives it a gently weathered, mineral look. In bright daylight it can appear close to a light neutral grey, whereas warmer lamps are likely to bring out its creamy beige side. Use it across living room or bedroom walls for a quiet backdrop, particularly alongside oak, linen, pale stone and brushed nickel. Pan's Flute also suits cabinetry or woodwork where a softer alternative to crisp white is wanted.
