What color is Valspar UK Pinstripe?

Valspar UK Pinstripe X88R186A is a deep, muted blue with a clear slate-grey cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded rather than bright, giving walls a quiet, architectural look. In daylight, the blue reads more clearly, while evening or north-facing light can bring out its smokier grey side. It suits studies, dining rooms, hallways, and bedroom feature walls, and has enough depth for painted cabinetry or interior doors. Pair Pinstripe with soft off-white, pale grey, warm oak, black metal, or brushed nickel for a clean, considered finish.
