Valspar

Secret Retreat

T687

Valspar Secret Retreat is a mid-depth gray-green with a soft olive cast. It feels settled and practical. Use it on kitchen cabinets, mudroom storage, office walls, or exterior shutters.

The green becomes more visible near warm whites and natural wood. Cooler light can mute it toward gray. Limestone, aged brass, or oatmeal textiles suit it. Bright white walls can make the palette feel colder than intended.

Secret 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.
