Valspar

Cottage Charm

V098-2

Cottage Charm is a quiet green gray with a soft, milky cast. The sage side stays gentle. It works nicely in bedrooms, laundry rooms, and back halls where stronger sage would feel busy.

North light can push it flatter, so sample it beside trim before committing. Natural linen and pale oak keep the color relaxed without turning it too country cute.
