Valspar

Olive Boat

V094-5

Olive Boat is a deep olive-brown with a muted golden base. Its low LRV gives cabinets real weight, especially under satin. Use it for cabinets or exterior accents when the design needs earthiness and depth.

Cream trim works better than cold white. Dark leather can make it richer. LRV 17 means it will darken quickly in shaded rooms, so plan enough contrast and lamp light. Daylight keeps it readable.

Olive Boat 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
