What color is Valspar UK Green Energy?

Valspar UK Green Energy X114R222C is a clear mid-tone green with a noticeable blue-green cast, based on its #48ab7c value. It has enough brightness to hold its own on full walls without reading too dark, while its moderate saturation keeps it from looking fluorescent. In cooler daylight, Green Energy is likely to appear fresher and slightly more teal; under warm artificial lighting, it can look softer and more muted. Use it in kitchens, utility rooms, bathrooms, or on painted cabinetry alongside crisp white, pale grey, light oak, and brushed nickel. For stronger contrast, pair this color with deep charcoal or a muted clay-toned accent.
