Valspar

Arizona Dust

2003-8A

Arizona Dust is a warm clay peach with enough brown to keep it grounded. The desert reference fits. Place it in a breakfast nook, powder bath, or on painted furniture when beige feels too tired.

Full walls will show more terracotta than the sample strip. Cream trim softens the color. Cool gray flooring can make the peach edge look stronger, so check the combination before committing.

Arizona Dust 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.
