What color is Valspar UK Quiet Rain?

Valspar UK Quiet Rain X96R180D is a muted blue-green with an even, lightly softened aqua cast. Its mid-light depth gives it enough presence for full walls while keeping the overall effect airy rather than icy. In daylight, the balanced green and blue notes read cleanly; under warmer evening lamps, the color may appear slightly more subdued and greyed. Try it in bathrooms, kitchens, or a light-filled bedroom with chalky white trim, pale oak, limestone, and brushed nickel. For contrast, pair Quiet Rain with deep navy, charcoal, or earthy terracotta accents.
