Valspar

Salamander

6001-8B

Valspar Salamander is a medium green with a muted blue-gray cast. It reads leafy but not bright. The depth suits kitchen islands, mudroom storage, garden rooms, and exterior doors.

In shade, the color can darken quickly, so use it where trim or tile adds contrast. Keep warm white, soapstone, or unlacquered brass in supporting roles. Red-toned woods can make the green look stronger, so test beside existing floors.

Salamander 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.
