Valspar

Green Curry

V021-2

Green Curry is an earthy yellow-green with a muted olive backbone. Spice shows up quickly. It works in small rooms that can handle personality, like a powder bath or breakfast corner.

A cabinet color could also carry it well. Because the value sits in the mid range, it will not disappear, but it still needs contrast from trim and counters. Very red woods need testing before they sit beside it.

Green Curry 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.
