Valspar

Spinach

6004-10C

Spinach is a strong leafy green with a slightly warm base. It is not subtle. Use it for a door, island, playroom detail, or garden room where saturated green fits the architecture.

At LRV 27, it has enough depth to need light around it. White trim makes the color crisp. Wood tones make it earthier. Avoid red-toned accents unless a holiday-like contrast is wanted.

Spinach 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.
