What color is Valspar UK Dried Basil?

Valspar UK Dried Basil R260D is a muted, mid-light green with a softly greyed cast that keeps it from feeling overly leafy or bright. Its near-even balance of red and blue gives the green a measured, neutral-leaning appearance, while natural daylight brings out its gentle botanical character. In warmer artificial light, Dried Basil can look a little softer and less crisp; cooler light makes its green note more apparent. It suits full walls in kitchens, bedrooms, or studies, and would also give painted cabinetry a calm, understated finish. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm stone, pale oak, linen, and brushed brass for a grounded scheme.
