Valspar

Phoenix Tears

8003-35D

Valspar Phoenix Tears is a softened green with a gray herbal quality. It feels steadier than mint and lighter than olive. Try this shade in a bedroom, mudroom, or kitchen with stone counters that share its green undertone.

The mid value gives the walls presence. Pair with cream, terracotta, or white oak for warmth. Test it against cane. Hold it near the countertop.
