Valspar

Privet

V098-5

Privet is a subdued gray green, more clipped hedge than fresh leaf. The color is deep. It can work on kitchen cabinets, a mudroom bench, or a quiet study wall with warm lamps.

The low saturation helps it pair with stone, oak, and black hardware. Avoid pairing it with blue gray floors unless the room has plenty of warmth elsewhere.

Privet 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.
