Shermans Key Lime

V019-1

Valspar Shermans Key Lime is a pale yellow-green with a creamy citrus cast. The lime is soft, not sharp. It can brighten kitchens, sunrooms, or kids' spaces, especially with white trim and light wood.

In shaded rooms, the yellow base helps it avoid feeling icy. Add warm white, natural rattan, or muted teal for balance. Use restraint with other greens because this shade already carries a clear point of view.

Shermans Key Lime 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.
