What color is Valspar UK Shadow Core?

Valspar UK Shadow Core X133R280A is a deep, muted green-grey with a cool slate cast. Its low saturation keeps it grounded and understated, reading almost charcoal in dim corners while the softened green becomes clearer in daylight. Use it on cabinetry, a study wall, or a hall where a darker colour can add definition without looking black. Pale stone, warm off-white, aged brass, oak, and textured linen give this shade useful contrast. In a north-facing room it may appear greyer and cooler, while warmer lighting brings out its subtle green character.
