Valspar

April Rain

V100-4

April Rain is a medium rainy green with a gray, damp-stone cast. It feels overcast in a good way. April Rain suits bedrooms, offices, or bathroom cabinetry when a muted green feels more interesting than gray.

In brighter daylight, the green comes forward. Warm bulbs settle it down. Pair with white trim, brushed nickel, or pale oak. In very dark rooms, it may need extra lighting to stay fresh.

April Rain 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.
