Valspar

Summer Moss

V057-4

Valspar Summer Moss is a muted olive yellow, not a clear green. The brown note grounds it. It suits dens, mudrooms, and older kitchens with wood floors or bronze hardware.

The color has enough depth to feel cozy, so give it light from lamps or windows. Cream trim works better than stark white, which can make the olive look murkier.
