Valspar

Mild Evergreen

6003-5C

Mild Evergreen is a light yellow-olive with a muted, grassy undertone. It feels fresh yet warm. A breakfast room, laundry area, or porch can carry the botanical note.

It is light enough for whole walls, though strong sun can make the yellow side more obvious. Cream trim turns it earthier. Clean white trim brightens it. Test beside oak if the floor already skews golden.

Mild Evergreen 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.
