What color is Valspar UK Placid Pool?

Valspar UK Placid Pool X77R163C is a mid-tone blue with a softened, slightly greyed cast that keeps it from feeling overly bright. Its cool blue character can read a little clearer in daylight, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its muted, dusty quality. Use it on bedroom or bathroom walls for a calm wash of colour, or on fitted cabinetry where a restrained blue is wanted. Pair Placid Pool with chalky white trim, pale oak, light limestone, and brushed nickel for a clean, lightly coastal look. Dark charcoal, ink blue, or black accents give this shade more definition without competing with it.
