Valspar

Sweet Pea in a Pod

8003-27D

Sweet Pea in a Pod is deep olive tan with a dry, natural cast. Not pea green. It works best where the palette already includes warmth, such as a study with oak floors or an exterior with cream trim.

The color needs relief from lighter ceilings or doors. Leather and black metal sit easily with the earthy base, especially under warm evening lamps.
