Valspar

Apple Jade

8001-26G

Apple Jade is a deep yellow-green with a strong olive chartreuse base. Olive-chartreuse wants one focal wall. Apple Jade works best as a focused accent on cabinetry, a pantry door, or a powder room wall.

LRV 30 keeps it deep enough to need contrast indoors. White trim makes it punchier. Dark wood gives it a vintage quality. In bright sun, the green-yellow can get loud, so test before covering a large room.

Apple Jade 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
