Valspar

Wetlands

5007-2C

Wetlands reads as a very dark olive gray with a brown green undertone. The freshness feels quiet and heavy. Use it on exterior trim, mudroom cabinets, or a den accent where depth is useful.

Creamy whites warm it. Black hardware can disappear against it, so consider aged brass instead. In shaded rooms, sample carefully, since the green may sink into a neutral charcoal.

Wetlands 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.
