What color is Valspar UK Green Citrine?

Valspar UK Green Citrine R240D is a muted yellow-green with a soft olive cast, sitting comfortably between warm khaki and faded citron. Its mid-light depth keeps it noticeable on a wall without becoming overly bright, while the greyed quality gives it a gently weathered look. In strong daylight, Green Citrine reads more yellow and sunlit; under warmer bulbs, its earthy olive side becomes more apparent. It suits kitchens, garden-facing rooms, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white, clay, natural oak, rattan, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal, inky blue, or a dark forest green.
