Valspar

Fond of Fronds

V096-4

Fond of Fronds is a deep khaki-tan with a muted olive undertone. The olive-khaki cast makes mudroom cabinets feel earthy, not green. Mudroom cabinetry, a den, or exterior trim works well when green needs to stay subtle.

The color needs pale contrast, especially in smaller spaces. Cream walls or black hardware gives it structure. In warm light, the golden side becomes more obvious. Use a large board.
