Valspar

Afternoon Tea

3002-3B

Afternoon Tea is a clear golden orange with a honeyed base. It is cheerful. The color suits a breakfast nook, pantry door, or laundry room where warmth and energy are welcome.

On full walls, it will reflect a warm cast onto nearby whites. Cream trim and simple wood tones keep it grounded. Rooms with intense western sun need a brightest-hour test, because the orange can become stronger than expected.

Afternoon Tea 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.
