What color is Valspar UK Herbes de Provence?

Valspar UK Herbes de Provence R249C is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable yellow-olive cast, reflected in its #83a06e value. It has an earthy, softened appearance rather than the crispness of a mint or blue-green, giving walls a grounded look without becoming too dark. In bright daylight, its green character feels clearer, while lower or warmer light can draw out the khaki-toned undertone. This shade suits kitchens, boot rooms, and garden-facing living spaces, and can also make painted cabinetry feel considered rather than overly bold. Pair Herbes de Provence with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, or terracotta accents to complement its subdued warmth.
