Valspar

Pond Leaves

T696

Valspar Pond Leaves is a muted gray green with an earthy olive cast. It feels quiet and practical, not botanical bright. Use it on cabinetry, a mudroom wall, or an exterior accent where the depth can read intentional.

The depth is clear. Pair with cream, black iron, or weathered wood, and keep very cool whites away from it. Recheck it with exterior trim.

Pond Leaves 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.
