Valspar

Sweet Clover

8003-30C

Sweet Clover is a muted yellow green neutral, softer than olive and warmer than gray. It sits quietly. Bedrooms, dining rooms, or kitchen cabinetry suit it when sage feels too cool.

Its balanced depth gives walls gentle presence without taking over. White oak, creamy trim, or honed stone works well. If tile or carpet carries pink undertones, sample carefully before committing.

Sweet Clover 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.
