Valspar

Dried Basil

V062-3

Dried Basil is a medium sage green with a gray, herbal undertone. Dried Basil feels grounded. Dried Basil works in kitchens, mudrooms, offices, and built-ins where green should act like a neutral.

Warm bulbs soften it nicely. The color settles beside cream trim, soapstone, or oak, and sample near tile before committing. A larger swatch helps Dried Basil show warmth accurately.

Dried Basil in Different Light
