Valspar

Sherwood Forest

8003-34G

Valspar Sherwood Forest is a dark muted forest green with its gray-brown undertone. The gray-brown undertone makes this forest green read quieter than pine. The color suits cabinets, front doors, offices, and exterior shutters where a classic green should stay subdued.

Weak weak light can send it look near black. Cream trim, brass, or warm stone bring relief around it. On walls, add lamps and lighter furnishings so the depth feels intentional rather than heavy.

Sherwood Forest 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.
