Valspar

Celery Heart

V057-2

Celery Heart is a light yellow-green cream that feels warmer than sage and softer than chartreuse. It can brighten a kitchen, sunroom, or back entry without losing its gentle character. The color works especially well with natural fiber shades and warm white trim.

In north light, the green can turn quieter and more gray. That may suit a bedroom. Avoid blue-white trim, which can make the yellow undertone look stronger.
