Valspar

Shadows of Time

V026-3

Valspar Shadows of Time is a deep green-teal with strong saturation and a blue undertone. The saturated green-teal base needs confident contrast around it. Consider it for a front door, bath vanity, bookcase, or small powder room.

In dim light, it can read almost black-green. Cream, unlacquered brass, or honed stone support the color well. Because the color is vivid and dark, sample two coats before deciding on a whole-room application.
