What color is Valspar UK Wave Goodbye?

Valspar UK Wave Goodbye X101R197D is a light, muted blue-grey with a cool cast and softly softened saturation. Its grey base keeps the blue from feeling overly crisp, giving walls a calm, slightly weathered appearance rather than a bright pastel finish. In north-facing rooms it can read as a clearer blue-grey, while warmer daylight and evening lighting bring out its more neutral, silvery side. Use it in bedrooms, bathrooms, or a study with off-white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and textured linen. Wave Goodbye also makes a considered choice for fitted cabinetry when paired with warm white walls and natural stone worktops.
