What color is Valspar UK Some Starry Night?

Valspar UK Some Starry Night R185A is a muted mid-to-deep blue with a clear grey cast, giving it a cool, softened appearance rather than a bright navy look. Its low-key saturation makes it especially effective on a study wall, hallway, or bedroom cabinetry where a darker colour is wanted without too much intensity. In daylight, this shade reads as a weathered blue-grey, while warmer evening bulbs can bring out its slightly slate-like depth. Pair Some Starry Night with off-white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal textiles for a restrained, layered scheme. It also provides a strong backdrop for linen upholstery and light stone surfaces.
