What color is Valspar UK Weathered Cottage?

Valspar UK Weathered Cottage X99R208D is a light, softly muted grey with a noticeable cool blue cast. Its low-saturation finish keeps it calm and understated, rather than reading as a sharp or steely grey. In daylight, the blue-grey character is clearer, while warmer bulbs can make it appear gentler and more neutral. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways, and living-room walls where a pale, grounded backdrop is wanted. Pair Weathered Cottage with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or soft off-white textiles for a clean, layered scheme.
