What color is Valspar UK Weathervane?

Valspar UK Weathervane R216B is a medium-dark grey with a faint cool, green-blue cast that keeps it from reading flat or charcoal-heavy. Its muted saturation gives it a practical, architectural look, particularly on larger wall areas or fitted cabinetry. In bright daylight, this color can appear like a clean weathered grey, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its deeper, softened character. Pair Weathervane with chalky whites, pale stone, muted sage, or natural oak for a restrained scheme with gentle contrast. It also suits black metal hardware, brushed nickel, concrete, and linen-textured fabrics in kitchens, hallways, studies, or exterior woodwork.
