What color is Valspar UK Portland Twilight?

Valspar UK Portland Twilight R288B is a mid-depth grey with a muted green-grey cast that keeps it from looking flat or blue. Its low saturation gives it a softened, weathered appearance, particularly in rooms with plenty of daylight. In warmer artificial light, Portland Twilight can read as a grounded charcoal-grey with a faint olive note. Use it on walls in studies, hallways, or kitchens where pale timber, brushed nickel, black metal, and off-white trim can sharpen its quiet depth. It also has enough presence for cabinetry or a front door when paired with lighter stone, plaster, or cream exterior details.
