Valspar

Ancient Scroll

3008-8B

Ancient Scroll is a warm parchment beige with a golden undertone. It reads classic. Ancient Scroll suits living rooms, stair halls, or bedrooms where cream feels too light but tan feels too strong.

Oak, woven shades, and antique brass fit easily with it. In bright rooms, it becomes lighter and more golden. A soft white on trim works well. Cool stone or blue-gray upholstery may make the yellow side more noticeable.

Ancient Scroll 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.
