What color is Valspar UK Stormy Day?

Valspar UK Stormy Day X140R274D is a light, muted grey-green with a softly weathered appearance. Its green cast is noticeable but restrained, softened by a generous amount of grey rather than reading as a bright sage. In cooler daylight, this shade can look clean and slightly silvery, while warm artificial light draws out its quieter olive notes. It suits bedrooms, kitchens, and utility spaces where a low-contrast wall color is wanted, and it would also make understated cabinetry. Pair Stormy Day with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal details, or natural linen for a grounded finish.
