Valspar

Sassy Olive

M217

Valspar Sassy Olive is a deep mustard olive with brown grounding the color. The yellow undertone is strong. It can look handsome on cabinetry, a study wall, or an exterior door with cream trim.

In shade, it turns more mossy and subdued. Bring in leather, terracotta, or black hardware for balance. Rooms with cool gray floors, test first; the olive can look dingy against them.

Sassy Olive 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.
