What color is Valspar UK Pewter Medallion?

Valspar UK Pewter Medallion R207C is a mid-depth grey with a faint cool blue cast that keeps it from reading flat or beige. Its softly muted character suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a grounded neutral is wanted without the heaviness of charcoal. In bright daylight, this color can appear a little cleaner and cooler, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its softer, slightly smoky quality. Pair Pewter Medallion with crisp white trim, pale stone, brushed nickel, or black metal for a restrained contemporary look. It also provides a calm backdrop for natural oak, linen upholstery, and muted blue-green accents.
