What color is Valspar UK Timber Green?

Valspar UK Timber Green R286A is a deep, muted grey-green with a distinctly earthy cast. Its low-saturation finish reads almost charcoal in dim rooms, while natural daylight brings out the subtle olive-brown undertone in the #54544a base. It suits studies, dining rooms, hallways, and exterior woodwork where a dark colour can add definition without appearing stark. Pair Timber Green with warm off-whites, putty beige, aged brass, oak, and natural linen for a grounded scheme. On cabinetry or a single feature wall, this shade has enough depth to create contrast against pale plaster and lighter timber.
