Valspar

Winter Moss

V105-3

Winter Moss is a soft blue-green with a gray, misty base. The color feels fresher than sage and quieter than turquoise, which makes it useful on a kitchen island or bath vanity. Use warm white trim if the room already has cool stone.

Walnut can ground it. In north light, the blue side may come forward and make the color feel cleaner. Check it against grout and counters before deciding how much surface it should cover.

Winter Moss 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.
