Valspar

Chia

V020-1

Chia is a bright pale yellow-green with a creamy base. It is softer than chartreuse, but it will still register as green across a room. Sunrooms, laundry spaces, and cottage kitchens are good candidates for this fresh wall color.

Warm white trim suits it better than icy white. In shade, it may calm down toward a pale olive cream. Keep red or burgundy accents limited, since the contrast can get loud fast.

Chia 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.
