Valspar

Sunny Lime

8001-29D

Sunny Lime is a light yellow green with real brightness, closer to new leaves than gray sage. It is playful. Try it in a child's bath, laundry room, or garden shed when the palette can handle a spark.

Sun will make the green livelier, so balance it with plain white tile or pale stone. Red-toned wood can push the color louder than expected.

Sunny Lime 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.
