What color is Valspar UK Winged Victory?

Valspar UK Winged Victory R216C is a mid-tone grey with a faint cool, blue-leaning cast visible in its #878a8b colour value. Its low saturation keeps it restrained rather than dramatic, making it a useful alternative to a plain neutral grey. In daylight, Winged Victory can read as a soft slate grey, while warm artificial lighting may bring out a slightly gentler, more neutral appearance. It suits living room walls, home offices, and painted joinery, particularly alongside crisp white trim, charcoal details, pale oak, brushed steel, or muted blue textiles.
