Valspar

Pickled Peppers

8001-25E

Valspar Pickled Peppers is a strong mustard yellow with an olive green edge. It can energize a pantry, mudroom lockers, or a painted chair. The green keeps it earthy.

Its mid depth brings real color without the weight of brown, but sunlight can make the yellow sharper. Pair with cream, black metal, or medium stained wood. Oak can sharpen the yellow.
