Valspar

Freshwater Green

V061-2

Freshwater Green is a pale celery-sage with a gentle gray cast. It stays easy. Try it in bedrooms, baths, or sunrooms where a neutral needs a little plant-like freshness.

Against cool white tile, it looks cleaner and greener. Near cream cabinets, it may turn more yellow. Use it with pale oak or brushed nickel, and keep the sample next to permanent finishes for a full day.

Freshwater Green 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.
