Valspar

Artemis

8006-1D

Artemis reads as a balanced taupe-beige with a weathered linen quality. It is not creamy. This is a useful neutral for hallways, bedrooms, or offices where white would feel unfinished.

The gray-brown base helps it sit with stone, oak, and black accents. In shaded rooms, it can look more taupe than tan. Add warm bulbs if the space starts feeling flat, then keep trim softly white.

Artemis 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.
