Valspar

Timid Absinthe

6003-5B

Timid Absinthe is a light yellow green with a soft herbal cast. Brighter than sage. This color can freshen a laundry room, sunroom, or kitchen nook without taking over.

Because it reflects plenty of light, the green will stay visible on full walls. Warm white trim, pale oak, or chalky black accents can keep it crisp in both daylight and lamp light.

Timid Absinthe 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.
