What color is Valspar UK Silky Green?

Valspar UK Silky Green X116R224E is a light, clear green with a noticeable yellow cast, giving it the look of fresh new foliage rather than a muted sage. Its high brightness keeps it airy on broad walls, particularly in kitchens, utility rooms, children’s spaces, or a sunlit home office. Daylight brings out its clean green side, while warmer bulbs can make this shade appear more softly yellow-green. Pair Silky Green with warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibres, and brushed brass for a gentle contrast, or add charcoal and deep forest-green details to give it more definition. It can also bring a cheerful lift to painted cabinetry or an interior door without making the surface feel overly dark.
