What color is Valspar UK Mantis Nymph?

Valspar UK Mantis Nymph R227C is a light, muted yellow-green with a noticeable leafy cast and a soft chalky quality. Its warm yellow base keeps it from reading icy, while the green element gives it a fresh, garden-inspired character. In bright daylight, Mantis Nymph can appear cleaner and more yellow-green; lower or cooler light may bring out its subdued olive side. It suits kitchens, utility rooms, and north-facing spaces that need a little visual warmth, as well as painted cabinetry or a single accent wall. Pair it with warm white, pale wood, woven natural fibres, and earthy clay or terracotta details for a grounded finish.
