Valspar

Afternoon Nap

T679

Afternoon Nap is a medium gray-beige with a softened olive cast. It feels quiet and sleepy. The shade suits a bedroom, reading room, or hallway when pale neutrals feel too thin.

In warm light, it moves closer to taupe. In cooler daylight, the gray-green side appears. Off-white trim and textured linen keep it soft. If the space has yellow oak, check that the undertone does not turn muddy.

Afternoon Nap 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
