Valspar

Boughs of Pine

5007-4C

Boughs of Pine is a deep olive green with a brown-gray base. It feels dense and natural. This color suits a study, mudroom cabinet, or exterior shutter when a true forest green would look too clean.

The low value needs lighter walls nearby. Pair it with cream, slate, or aged bronze. In shade, the olive can look almost muddy, so sample generously.
