Valspar

Acropolis

7005-4

Acropolis is an almost white green with a fresh, airy cast. The green stays quiet. It can brighten a kitchen, bath, or hallway without the starkness of a blue-white.

White tile and pale wood suit it. Cream cabinets may make the green easier to see, which can be good or awkward depending on the room. Use a sample board near fixed finishes, especially stone with pink or violet veining.

Acropolis in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
