What color is Valspar UK Tuxedo Blue?

Valspar UK Tuxedo Blue W30d is a deep, muted blue with a cool, slate-like cast. Its low-light value gives it a substantial presence, reading close to charcoal navy in dim corners while clearer blue notes appear in daylight. Use it on a study wall, dining room panelling, or painted cabinetry where a darker finish can define the architecture. Soft off-whites and pale grey tones keep the contrast crisp, while warm oak, walnut, aged brass, and tan leather add welcome warmth beside this shade.
