What color is Valspar UK Whoosh?

Valspar UK Whoosh X139R273F is a very light, muted green with a soft grey cast and a faint yellow-green undertone. Its high brightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the restrained colour prevents it from reading as stark white. In daylight, Whoosh can appear gently green; under warmer artificial lighting, its subtle yellow note may become a little more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, kitchens, and calm living spaces, particularly alongside pale oak, brushed nickel, linen, and off-white trim. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper olive greens, charcoal grey, or warm clay accents.
