Valspar
Martian
6007-8C
Martian is a bright yellow-green, closer to citron leaf than moss. The citron-yellow undertone gives small painted pieces a sharp garden charge. The color can wake up a laundry room, playful powder bath, or small furniture piece.
A full room needs restraint in the rest of the finishes. White tile and pale wood keep it fresh. In warm afternoon light, the yellow grows stronger. Avoid red undertones nearby unless a high-contrast palette is intentional.
