Valspar
Luscious Green
6010-7
Luscious Green is a strong emerald green with very little gray to soften it. This color has bite. It works best in controlled doses, such as a front door, powder room vanity, or painted bar cabinet.
Since its LRV rounds to 16, it will absorb light on full walls. Gloss or satin helps the green look intentional and easier to wipe. White walls or black iron give it room, and competing colors should stay restrained.
