Valspar

Northern Juniper

5001-4B

Northern Juniper is a deep gray teal with a quiet evergreen undertone. Its gray content makes the teal feel aged rather than coastal. This shade can work on built-ins or a small office where a true green would be too strong.

Pair it with ivory paint or light oak. Cool daylight can make it read grayer. Under warm lamps, the green side becomes easier to see, especially in satin finishes.
