Valspar

Dream Grass

8003-27A

Dream Grass is a light khaki cream with a muted green-yellow undertone. Dream Grass feels natural. Dream Grass works in hallways, garden rooms, and bedrooms where off-white needs a little earth.

Strong sunlight can make the yellow side clearer. Warm white trim, woven shades, or soft blue fabrics keep the undertone useful. Check Dream Grass near fireplaces, since masonry changes undertones.

Dream 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.
