What color is Valspar UK Potager?

Valspar UK Potager R234B is a mid-depth green with a clear, leafy character and a gently softened finish. Its #497e4e value suggests a balanced green that sits closer to natural foliage than olive or emerald, with enough depth to hold its own on a full wall. In bright daylight, it should read fresher and cleaner, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its slightly earthier side. Use Potager on kitchen cabinetry with pale stone worktops, or on a garden-facing dining room wall alongside warm white trim. It also pairs well with oak, terracotta, aged brass, and muted clay-toned textiles.
