Valspar

Canadian Fir

5004-4C

Canadian Fir is a deep blue-green forest shade with a smoky base. It feels natural and serious. Built-ins, shutters, or a powder room can carry it when a rich green is wanted.

The color needs contrast, because its low value will darken away from windows. Brass and warm white trim help the green show. In shade, it may look closer to charcoal green.
