What color is Valspar UK Snipped Chive?

Valspar UK Snipped Chive R235C is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable yellow cast, giving it the look of softened foliage rather than a blue-based sage. Its moderate lightness keeps it clear enough for full walls in a kitchen, utility room, or garden-facing living space. In cooler daylight, Snipped Chive can appear more restrained and gently greyed, while afternoon sun brings out its warmer, leaf-green side. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm stone, natural oak, and woven linen for an organic, grounded scheme. It also makes a practical choice for cabinetry or a painted exterior door beside brick, cream render, or dark bronze hardware.
