What color is Valspar UK Splash of Lime?

Valspar UK Splash of Lime X117R236F is a pale, lightly muted green with a noticeable yellow cast, giving it the look of softened spring foliage rather than a sharp citrus tone. Its high lightness keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the gentle green presence prevents it from reading as off-white. In bright daylight, Splash of Lime can appear fresher and a little clearer; under warmer bulbs, its yellow-green undertone becomes more apparent. It suits kitchens, garden-facing rooms, and children’s spaces where a light color with some character is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and soft clay or muted terracotta accents for contrast.
