What color is Valspar UK Spring Bonnet?

Valspar UK Spring Bonnet X90R188E is a light, muted blue with a gentle grey cast that keeps it from feeling sugary or overly bright. Its cool character is clear, though the softness of the colour makes it easy to live with across larger wall areas. In daylight, Spring Bonnet reads as an airy blue-grey, while lower or warmer artificial light can bring out its quieter, misted quality. Use it in bedrooms, bathrooms, or a light-filled kitchen alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft stone finishes. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal details, deep navy textiles, or warm terracotta accents.
