Valspar

Spring Leaves

5008-6B

Spring Leaves is a medium olive-green with a muted, leafy cast. The olive midtone gives shutters and cabinets a garden-bred character. Lower cabinets, a mudroom wall, or exterior shutters are good places for its traditional green mood.

At LRV 30, it needs contrast but does not feel nearly black. Cream trim pulls the leafy green toward a more traditional look. Stone floors make it quieter. Avoid pairing with bright red accents unless that contrast is planned.

Spring Leaves 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.
