What color is Valspar UK Pond Leaves?

Valspar UK Pond Leaves R284C is a muted grey-green with a softly weathered, mid-tone appearance. Its low saturation keeps the green understated, reading more like a mineral-toned neutral than a bright botanical shade. In clear daylight, Pond Leaves shows its gentle green cast, while warmer evening light can bring out its grey, slightly softened side. It is well suited to living-room walls, calm bedrooms, or painted cabinetry where a darker neutral would feel too heavy. Pair this color with chalky off-whites, warm stone, pale oak, brushed nickel, and natural linen for a grounded finish.
