What color is Valspar UK Thai Basil?

Valspar UK Thai Basil R248B is a muted mid-depth green with an evident yellow-olive cast rather than a blue or grey undertone. Its softened saturation gives it a grounded, leafy appearance that can read slightly mossier in low light and fresher in bright natural daylight. Use it on kitchen cabinetry with pale stone worktops and brushed brass, or on a study wall alongside warm off-white trim. Natural oak, terracotta pottery, linen, and charcoal accents all provide useful contrast without pulling the color in a different direction.
