Valspar

Rainforest Retreat

P026

Rainforest Retreat is a blackened emerald green with strong saturation under the darkness. It feels lush. A powder room, library, or exterior door can carry it beautifully with the right lighting.

The very low reflection makes sheen important. Use satin on cabinets or trim. Warm white walls and brass hardware reveal the green better than cool gray surroundings. White towels can sharpen the green.

Rainforest Retreat 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.
