What color is Valspar UK Union Jack?

Valspar UK Union Jack W30c is a deep, muted blue with a noticeable grey cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its cool, slightly steely character can read as a smoky navy in low light, while daylight brings out the clearer blue in the color. Use it on a study wall, hallway cabinetry, or a painted front door where its depth can give pale surroundings more definition. Soft off-whites, weathered oak, brushed nickel, and warm tan leather make especially natural companions. In a smaller room, it is best used as an accent or below a lighter wall color to avoid making the space feel too enclosed.
