What color is Valspar UK Apothecary Jar?

Valspar UK Apothecary Jar X138R272F is a pale, muted green with a soft grey cast and a lightly cool appearance. Its low saturation keeps it gentle on broad wall areas, where it reads more like a washed mineral green than a clearly leafy shade. In bright daylight, the subtle green becomes clearer, while lower or warmer artificial light can bring out its quiet grey-beige side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens paired with chalky white trim, pale oak, limestone, or brushed nickel. For contrast, use deeper forest greens, charcoal, or muted clay accents rather than highly vivid colours.
