Valspar
Awakening
6006-10C
Awakening is a lively yellow-green with an olive edge. It feels fresh but not soft. The color can energize a laundry room, garden-facing breakfast area, or painted furniture piece.
Used broadly, it will become a clear design choice rather than a background neutral. Pair with warm white and natural wood. With red brick or cherry furniture, sample carefully because the contrast can get intense.

Awakening 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.
