What color is Valspar UK Shepherd's Green?

Valspar UK Shepherd's Green R235A is a mid-depth green with a noticeable yellow-olive cast, giving it the look of fresh foliage rather than a blue-based forest shade. It has enough saturation to hold its own on cabinetry, a front door, or a full wall in a kitchen or utility room. In bright daylight, Shepherd's Green reads clearer and more leafy, while lower or warmer light can draw out its earthier olive side. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, or terracotta-toned accessories for a grounded scheme. For contrast, matte black hardware and creamy stone surfaces give this color a crisp, practical edge.
