Valspar

Succulent

V097-2

Valspar Succulent is a muted yellow green, almost a dried leaf neutral. It is not a fresh mint. This shade can settle nicely in a mudroom, garden room, or cabinet run where gray feels too cold.

The mid value keeps it visible without taking over. Pair it with natural stone, aged brass, or warm oak, and watch it beside red brick.
