Valspar

Herb Garland

8003-29G

Herb Garland is a dark olive-brown with a gray, dried-leaf cast. The dark olive-brown value suits an island base or shutters better than a dim hallway. The color can anchor a cabinet island, exterior shutters, or a cozy den accent.

LRV 11 keeps it firmly dark, so full walls require strong lamps and light ceilings. Cream trim brings warmth. Clean white creates sharper contrast. If the room has lots of wood, add black or stone so the palette does not sink too far.
