Valspar

Herbes de Provence

V060-5

Herbes de Provence is a deep muted olive with a yellow-green base. It feels herbal, not bright. Use it for built-ins, a mudroom wall, or lower cabinets when sage feels too pale.

The color needs decent lighting because its LRV sits around 31. In shade, it can look browner and more subdued. Pair with warm limestone or aged brass. A clean white wall nearby will help the green stay legible.

Herbes de Provence 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.
