Valspar

Amber Pearl

3006-3C

Amber Pearl is a bright golden yellow with a soft amber base. It glows quickly. Amber Pearl can warm a breakfast nook, laundry room, or back entry, especially where the design already uses cream and natural wood.

Large walls make it feel more saturated than a chip. Pair with warm white trim and matte black details. Cool gray flooring can sharpen the yellow, so sample before committing to a wide area.

Amber Pearl 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.
