Valspar

Good Earth

8004-23E

Good Earth is a deep taupe-olive with a dry stone undertone. The dry olive undertone anchors cabinet runs without going black. A study, entry, or cabinet run works when the room needs a neutral with more substance.

The color sits deep enough to need lighter trim and good lamps. Pair with natural oak or cream plaster. Cool gray finishes can bring out the green side, which may or may not be welcome.

Good Earth 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.
