What color is Valspar UK Tarnished Shilling?

Valspar UK Tarnished Shilling R287B is a muted mid-tone grey with a subtle earthy, olive-beige cast. Its low saturation keeps it looking restrained rather than obviously green, giving walls a soft, weathered neutral appearance. In bright daylight it reads as a balanced grey, while warmer evening lighting can draw out its slightly khaki undertone. Tarnished Shilling suits studies, hallways, kitchens, and exterior joinery where a deeper neutral is wanted without the heaviness of charcoal. Pair it with chalky off-whites, dark wood, aged brass, natural linen, or black accents for a grounded scheme.
