Valspar

Northern Glen

5007-4B

Northern Glen is a deep muted olive with a gray-brown base. It stays earthy. Use it on cabinets or exterior trim where a quieter green suits the house.

Warm wood brings out the olive. Creamy whites keep it from feeling severe. In low light, the color can turn into a dense neutral, so it needs clear contrast around doors and windows.
