Valspar

Curly Grass

V059-5

Curly Grass is a muted olive beige with a gray-green cast. It stays earthy. This color suits mudrooms, offices, and cabinet fronts where a natural neutral is better than plain greige.

Warm light will bring out more yellow. Build the room around black hardware, limestone, or medium oak, and avoid overly blue whites. Check Curly Grass beside window treatments before finalizing trim.

Curly Grass 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.
