Sun Valley is a golden yellow with pronounced amber undertones. Its LRV of 49.86 places it in the mid-range, offering warmth without excessive brightness. It works well in kitchens and living rooms.

The color reads richer under warm lighting. It pairs reliably with White Dove and Revere Pewter. Guilford Green and Harvest Bronze support analogous combinations, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal add contrast.

Sun Valley in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
