Valspar

Flora

5004-2C

Flora is an almost-black olive-gray, far moodier than the name suggests. It feels shadowed. Doors, a bookcase, or a small bath can carry this near-black green when the scheme has pale trim.

Walls need layered light. Cream plaster or aged brass adds warmth without fighting the depth. Flat paint can make it look dusty, so consider a slight sheen on handled surfaces.

Flora 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
