What color is Valspar UK Wintergreen?

Valspar UK Wintergreen R225D is a light, fresh yellow-green with a clear leafy cast rather than a muted sage tone. Its pale value keeps it airy on larger walls, while the noticeable green pigment gives it more presence than a cream or off-white. In daylight, Wintergreen reads crisp and garden-like; under warmer bulbs, its yellow undertone becomes more apparent. It suits kitchens, utility rooms, children’s spaces, and sunlit sitting rooms, especially when paired with warm white trim, pale oak, rattan, or natural linen. For contrast, use deeper olive green, terracotta, charcoal, or a soft dusty blue in textiles and smaller furnishings.
