What color is Valspar UK Saint-Pierre?

Valspar UK Saint-Pierre W1b is a very deep charcoal grey with a faint muted red-violet cast visible beside cleaner, bluer greys. At #413d3e, it reads almost black in low light, while daylight reveals its soft, slightly warm character rather than a stark black finish. It gives living-room walls, snug studies, or dining spaces a grounded backdrop without looking flat. Pair Saint-Pierre with chalky off-whites, pale stone, aged brass, walnut, and natural linen to bring out its restrained warmth. On cabinetry or interior doors, this shade creates crisp contrast against lighter walls and pale timber flooring.
