What color is Valspar UK Shy Blue?

Valspar UK Shy Blue X121R254F is a pale, muted blue-green with a lightly chalky appearance. Its #c8deda value gives it a cool cast, though the soft green influence keeps it from reading as a sharp or icy blue. In bright daylight, this shade can look airy and clean; under warmer bulbs, it may appear a little greyer and more subdued. It suits bedroom, bathroom, and north-facing living-room walls where a light colour is wanted without the starkness of white. Pair Shy Blue with warm off-whites, pale oak, brushed nickel, or soft clay accents for contrast that still feels restrained.
