Valspar

Green Water

5003-4A

Green Water is a muted gray-green with a blue, almost mineral cast. It is deeper than expected. Cabinets, mudroom walls, and exterior trim can look handsome in it.

A full-room application needs decent daylight to avoid turning flat. Its cool undertone works well with slate flooring and nickel fixtures. Warm wood brings balance. If trim is yellowed, check the sample carefully because the green can look murky beside it.

Green Water 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.
