Valspar

Thai Basil

8004-26F

Thai Basil is nearly black olive brown, quiet and earthy rather than leafy green. Let it be moody. Built-ins or interior doors are strong places for it when a grounded color should carry the room.

In a compact office, add lamps that actually wash the walls. Cream trim defines the shape, and antique brass brings out the herbal warmth without turning muddy.

Thai Basil 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.
