Valspar

Shady Palm

5003-6C

Valspar Shady Palm is a deep muted teal-green with a smoky gray base. The smoky green depth belongs on millwork, doors, or a focused office wall. The shade suits cabinetry, office walls, exterior doors, and bathroom vanities.

In shaded spaces, it can look almost charcoal green. Cream trim, brass, or light stone counters bring out the green. Avoid very cool whites if you want a warmer, less severe result.
